Zim Code
Zim Code is bringing coding to the forefront of youth education and socio-economic empowerment in Zimbabwe. <p></p> The majority of the schools we work with have inadequate resources and equipment to support our coding courses. We solve this by using our mobile coding lab (laptops, projectors and internet) to deliver coding lessons to high schools. <mark>Every student gets to use their own computer and code at their own pace.</mark> <p></p> Our tutors are young college students below the age of 25, so our lessons have a peer-to-peer structure. Most of our students have remarked that Zim Code tutors are more relatable and for that reason, they learn more comfortably. <p></p> Our nonprofit model allows us to bring our product to those who need it the most: socio-economically disadvantaged youths. There exists traditional computer colleges and night schools for coding, but they are beyond the reach of the greater majority of Zimbabweans. Our coding school model is the first of its kind in Zimbabwe.
