Community building is not an abstract idea for us — it is something we show up for. In January 2025, Keuro Lab hosted our first full-day tech workshop for secondary school students in Kano. Sixty young people came in having never written a line of code. By the end of the day, most had built something.
The Format
We structured the day around three sessions: a morning introduction to computational thinking, an afternoon hands-on Python workshop, and an evening "demo hour" where students showed what they had built. No slides, no lectures — just doing.
What Surprised Us
The hunger was real. Students stayed past the scheduled end time. Several asked how they could continue learning. A few asked about internship opportunities at Keuro Lab. That question became the seed of our internship programme, which we are formalizing for Q2 2025.
What We Are Improving
- Providing laptops for students who do not have access to devices
- Running follow-up sessions to maintain momentum after the workshop
- Partnering with schools to integrate coding sessions into the regular calendar
If you represent a school, NGO, or organization interested in hosting a Keuro Lab workshop in your community, reach out. We are building this together.
