    • It is the first of its kind in Mauritius! Our vision is to increase exposure to CS and
    Vision CS-related opportunities that are lacking in Mauritius, also in line with the
    country’s vision of making Mauritius a model tech hub for Africa.

    • Our partner, Code.X, has successfully launched the program in Palestine in 2015
    Piloted successfully and has enrolled 98 students across two locations. The program is now well-
    established and recognized, is very selective, and happens annually.

    • We provide high quality instruction through Stanford and Ivy League student
    World-class instruction instructors, low student to instructor ratio, etc.

    • The CS and DT/Entrepreneurship curriculum, coupled with mentorship of


    Creating changemakers instructors, are conducive to changing mindsets and creating changemakers who can
    leverage technology skills to solve problems in their communities.
