Twende
Twende is a social enterprise dedicated to empowering local community members to improve their quality of life through the innovation and implementation of low-cost technologies. As an innovation center of Tanzanian students and instructors, <mark>Twende aims to merge local experience and technical knowledge into affordable innovations.</mark> Technologies built at Twende are affordable, comprised of locally available materials, and address a specific social need. Through school and community workshops, Twende supports aspiring entrepreneurs in the creation of their own solutions to community problems. Led by Tanzanian inventor Bernard Kiwia, Twende aims to be a beacon of social innovation and technological empowerment in Arusha, Tanzania and around the globe. <p></p> Very few technologies currently address the needs of rural Tanzanian communities. And those that do, often fail to substantially improve quality of life in villages for following reasons. <br>1. Rural technologies often are designed and manufactured abroad, leaving Tanzanian villagers unable to repair their devices, especially when materials are not locally available. <br>2. These technologies are not developed with a rich understanding of local needs and resources, often making them irrelevant or impractical. For example, technologies that require electricity are useless for most Tanzanian villagers who do not have access to or cannot afford electricity. <br>3. Most rural technologies are too expensive for the average villager. These problems have left an estimated 30 million villagers without access to technology to charge phones, see at night, and harvest their crops. Not only would these villagers stand to benefit from more productive technologies, but so would the Tanzanian economy as a whole. <p></p> <mark>Twende technologies address the aforementioned problems through the development of intermediate technologies that <br>1. utilize locally available materials, <br>2. are designed WITH rather than FOR village communities, <br>3. derive out of village needs and imperative, <br>4. are inexpensive and affordable for villagers, <br>5. are able to be repaired locally. </mark> <p></p> Twende is able to develop these technologies by engaging communities through community workshops and providing vital technical support and tools through its innovation center platform. Following the teachings of Amy Smith and her colleagues at MIT’s D-Lab, Twende has adopted a new model of community-based innovation called creative capacity building (CCB). Through technology workshops, Twende engages students and villagers in creating their own technologies to improve health and safety, save labor and time, and increase their incomes. Through an interactive, hands-on curriculum, people of all education levels are able to become active creators of technology, not just passive recipients. <p></p> A key component of the follow-up to the CCB training is a space where people can come together, apply what they have learned to design, and build technologies that can positively affect their lives. <mark>The Twende workshop ideally serves as this nexus of creativity, where aspiring inventors can learn about new technologies, develop their mechanics and design skills, prototype their ideas, create technology products, incubate micro-enterprises and obtain guidance on how to market the technologies that they create.</mark> Workshop tools are available to all participating community members and maintained through a small fee.

Our classes include weekend coding courses, holiday coding camps and STEM workshops <p></p> Since 2016 our team has taught over 5000+ students within and outside Nigeria to develop core coding skills in Web Design, Mobile App design, Game design, Robotics, and Artificial Intelligence <p></p> Our Approach<br> <mark>We believe that it is not enough to learn how to code. Our students should be able to use their coding skills to innovate and create value. Our model is anchored on a three pronged approach of Technology, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship</mark> <p></p> Technology<br> Our first step is giving kids the tech skills required to be up to date in a fast changing world <p></p> Innovation<br> We instill in our students the ability to harness their skills and use them to solve societal problems <p></p> Entrepreneurship<br> We train them to develop the entrepreneurial skill-set and mindset that will enable them launch their innovation into profitable business. <p></p>Our Core Programs<br> 9jacodekids Academy offers various programs that will help your child develop their vision; and more importantly the substance for achieving it. <p></p> Coding<br> <mark>Coding is at the core of what we do. The ability to give instructions to computers and robots teaches your kids to not just solve problems but to also foresee them.</mark> <p></p> Robotics<br> We enable kids with the concepts of how robots and similar machineries work. This gives them an edge over their peers in a world becoming ever reliant on machines. <p></p> Artificial Intelligence<br> We teach kids to design intelligent computer programs. This ability puts your child at the top of the demand hierarchy, globally.
Launch Lab
We are transforming Africa's biggest challenges into its greatest opportunities by serving as a confident, commercial co-builder for world-shaping startups. <p></p> What we build<br> Entrepreneurial Mindset + World-Shaping Startups <p></p>Community<br> We create and foster an entrepreneurial environment in a safe, empathetic manner focused on co-working, events & business support.

Bright Endeavors Now
The educational programs at BRIGHT ENDEAVORS NOW were created with our children’s needs in mind: to mature and develop in a safe yet stimulating environment. Take a look below to learn more about each program. <p></p> Coding<br> <mark>Students will sharpen their abilities to determine cause and effect relationships, construct explanations and design solutions. The BEN Coding Workshop provides screen-free, foundational skills needed to make the best of our Robotics & Engineering classes, where children will apply their learning and creativity to programming.</mark> <p></p> Robotics & Engineering <br> Our Robotics & Engineering classes introduce students to the fundamentals of engineering and give them a deeper understanding of technology, programming, electronics and mechanical systems. Skills in teamwork, computational thinking and problem solving are developed in a fun way as students work together to apply physics and engineering concepts to design and build working models with LEGO® STEAM Park and SNAP Circuits Jr., and LEGO® Early Simple Machines. They’ll bring objects to life using introductory robotics, coding and programming principles. Children will imagine new robotic creations and make them a reality using LEGO® WeDO 2.0. Using basic programming skills, children “teach” a robot how to play games, build, tell stories and more. Students develop independence as they analyze and interpret data to plan and carryout out their own investigation.
