Engineering Residency Program

Africa Code Academy prepares students for real-world scenarios by structuring class-time just like a software company. Meaning, students are referred to as 'Devs,' teaching assistants are called 'Project Managers' and the lead instructors are called the ‘Engineers in Residence’. And because it’s a software company-it’s all about the product.

By partnering with investors and mentors from around the world, our goal is to make high-tech learning available to students in underserved areas, enabling students to become highly skilled engineers, participate as instructors and become founders of the next generation of schools and companies.

In the long-term, our goal is to:
- Create a network of Engineering Residency Programs across Africa.
- Establish an offshore development company, the Africa Code Foundry, staffed by ACA graduates, that will provide engineering services.
- Create a start-up accelerator to aid student entrepreneurs.
- Use profits to fund the academies allowing them to become fully self-sufficient.
