It has been a while since my last newsletter but that doesn’t mean that we haven’t been busy building (as you will have seen via X/Twitter, LinkedIn or Instagram)!

In this letter

1. Thank you
2. Our Successes
3. Charity Dissolution: Same Book, New Cover
4. 2024 and Beyond
5. Get Involved!

Thank you

Since its inception, thousands of hours have been put into this project. Volunteers, interns, apprentices, advisors, trustees and team members have contributed to the mission, expecting nothing in return but the transformative impact of our work:

• 4 separate student consultant teams from 180dc Imperial College London and 180dc Oxford
• 2 Springboard UIX design teams
• 7 bootcamp guest lecturers
• 15+ mentors, advisors and trustees
• 20+ volunteers and interns
• 20+ donors
• 2000+ followers across our social media platform

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. We wouldn’t have had the motivation to keep going without the overwhelming support of all of you.

Our Impact

• 4 Intro Courses in 2023, bringing Harvard's CS50 Python to more than 150 students across Kenya and Ethiopia. We have so far delivered 3 Intro Courses in 2024.
• 5x higher completion rate (50% finished) than comparable (free, 40h+/week, remote) 3-month long coding bootcamps. About half of those who finished expressed interest in continuing to the Apprenticeship program.
