Thank You For Your Support!

Help us provide opportunities for African developers to change the world!

 

We’ve provided jobs for more than half of our program graduates, allowing them to earn and help build opportunities in their home countries. You can be a part of helping them change their world as we train devs and build companies to provide jobs in countries like Lesotho and Botswana.

Teaching Developers How To Start AI-Powered Businesses

Africa Code Academy equips emerging African developers with the mindset and skillset to lead in an era where AI sits at the core of software creation. Move beyond old-school debugging—learn how to prompt, supervise, and refine AI so your code not only works but also excels.

Classroom learning organized like companies

Immediately enter the mind of a real software developer by working in a software dev environment.

Project-based product-building learning modules

In real-world software companies, it’s all about the product, we start on day one.

Mentorship
Chains

Upon joining ACA, Developers are assigned mentors who provide guidance throughout their semester, and they are encouraged to take on mentoring responsibilities for a minimum of one year after their graduation.

Training and retaining
From within

To continue to establish new academies around Africa, top students will be offered opportunities to return as instructors or assistants.

Building the platform From within

Advanced projects will include building and improving the ACA platform itself.

What is Mastery?

Mastery = Expertise + Taste

 

  • Expertise: Deep knowledge, understanding how and why code works.
  • Taste: Recognizing elegant, maintainable, humanfriendly solutions.

Humans bring judgment, curation, and creativity. This is the skill AI cannot replace.

The Two Pillars of Mastery (Expertise & Taste)

 Together, these are not just skills—they are survival tools in an AI-first world.

Traditional Developer

Slow | Slips behind

Think → Research → Code → Debug → Deploy

AI-Native Developer

Fast | Strategic | Future-proof

Think → Prompt → Supervise Refine → Deploy

Vibe Coders

Dangerous | 0% debug skills

Code-gen without understanding → Technical debt → Brittle systems

Build Expertise. Refine Taste. Achieve Mastery.

“AI won’t replace humans—but humans with AI will replace humans without AI.”

Join the academy that teaches not just how to code but how to lead AI in building the code.

The Next Generation Of Software Development Starts In
