Thinking outside the box
Challenging our young people to exploit their energy and creativity and consider they have the solutions they have been waiting for.
Computer programming for everyone
Computer programming is all about problem solving. We provide engaging computer programming sessions that are tailored to your needs and are age appropriate. It is important to start your journey early. Primary school students learn how to write computer programs by creating appealing games and animations. Secondary school students learn how to write computer programs by building useful mobile apps and trying them on a real device. We support the capacity development of teachers in these subjects, including foundational skills such as digitial literacy.
Why Learn Computer Programming
Do you, your child or your friend use smart phones or tablets or any other forms of technology products? Have you ever asked yourself - who builds the apps that you use? In our Programming Sessions, you will gain critical problem analysis and solution construction skills to be able to build useful technological artefacts that are useful.
How we support you
We curate content and technologies of international standard. We have, among our Team experts who have worked with organisations such as Google, MIT, Oxford University. We will facilitate your learning using content and pedagogies that are world class. We think you will learn something from us
Who We Are
We are a team of professionals, cross-cutting academia and industry. For example, amongst us are 2 Professors of Education with extensive experience in teaching and learning. Also, a Software Engineering Academic with over 15 years experience in the UK. We have put together a learning package of international quality.
Who We Are
Unleashing your creative potential
Some things are so obvious, they do not need broadcasting. You already know it. But - what are you doing about it? Computers, software, artificial intelligence - these drive our day to day lives in many ways. We can choose to just consume what others place at our door, or we can become part of the problem solving community that is still virgin in Kenya, and much of Africa. We challenge you to rise above being a smart consumer of technological products, and instead become a producer of solutions. We know it can be done, you can do it. We will do it!
- Are you a teacher? Learn how to teach programming through games and animations.
- Are you a primary or secondary school student? Learn how to build applications that make learning science and maths fun!
- Are you a business owner or employee? Tap into Artificial Intelligence and use data-driven decision making to grow your business
Our Areas of Work
We partner with other organisations such as Matakiri Tumaini Centre, Leo Foundation,
and Kenya's
Ministry of Education to create sustainable learning opportunities for our young people.

Resources & making it work
Do you require web space, hosting, or other resources to actualise your solution? Let's explore that together. Where there is will, there is a way!
04
Launch & Support
We work with other organisations to ensure your first steps are well thought through, and have considered both technical and socio-technical implications of your solutions. Have you not moved yet? You are waiting on yourself!!
Our Courses
We provide a varied set of courses, curated for different target aundiences and certainly relevant for different sectors of Kenya's economy.
Supporting the youth
Our experience has shown a growing demand in software development skills, especially full-stack web developers, cloud computing engineers, data engineers, machine learning developers and creative individuals capable of turning loose customer needs into software designs. Most importantly, we help consider how you can turn your learned skills into entreprenurial venture.
Supporting businesses
We will show you how to use your organisations datasets to draw insights that help you in making better decisions for your customers. We will train your staff to build their capacity data driven decision making. What's more, we will work with you to build data analytics pipelines that help your team in performing predictive analytics and revenue forecasts, among other things.

You most frequently asked questions answered
There seems to be some significant buzz around technology in education, especially in basic education settings. What is this all about? Why do young people need to learn challenging subjects such as programming?
Is there value in learning how to write computer programs?
Imagine a situation where your child doesn't just use mobile apps, but creates them. Let that passive screen time become active innovation time. That's the power of our programming sessions for your young ones.
Will school children be able to make sense of programming languages and use them?
Yes, they can and they will. They already study more abstract subjects such as Mathematics, and are able to establish complex patterns using numbers at a very early age. The key point of programming is to enhance this problem solving ability, and we use age appropriate tools for this.
Can parents join the sessions to support their children?
Yes, this is very encouraged. The best outcomes for our young people are attained when there is a collaboration between the home and the school. We welcome parents to suggest differen ways in which they think their child learns best.

Some students, parents and teachers have had excellent experience with us. See what some of them say.
We have seen an increased interest in Maths, partly because Maths is a pre-requistite to study computer science at university, and a lot of students are now head over heals with coding!
Robert Kombo
Secondary School Maths Teacher
The mobile app programming, and the Python programming are enjoyable. They provide plenty of avenues for creativity and problem solving. I worked my way around most of the topics without any challenges - thanks to the support provided by the Digimagic Team.
Liz Ndwiga
Parent
My daughter who already enjoys Physics has completely taken up programming, and is now considering studying computer science at University. She is extending her mobile app project that she started off with Digimagic. Very exciting!
Emma Okong'o
Secondary School Learner
The digital literacy classes have been an eye openner. The hands-on approach has been excellent, and I can now search for resources online, and create engaging kahoot sessions to enthuse my students and help them work in groups.
David Mokua
Primary School Teacher
The children are building amazing games, we see resilience and determination as some transferrable qualities that are being built here.
Mrs Mary Ochieng
Head Teacher
The way programming has been introduced to our young learners - initially there was a learning curve, however, even our youngest learners have so far created amazing animations using Scratch.
