To advance coding education and research in Kenya, Kodris Africa, an educational technology company, and Strathmore University have teamed.
In addition to fostering creativity and collaboration in the promotion of coding, also known as programming or software development, the agreement aims to take advantage of the strengths and skills of both institutions in order to improve the caliber and applicability of coding education and research in Kenya.
In this cooperation, educational literature generated by either or both sides will be exchanged, joint programs will be organized, and industry-specific research initiatives will be collaboratively worked on.
Additionally, Strathmore and Kodris will work together to assess curricula and seek for grants and research project financing jointly.
In addition to praising Kodris Africa’s materials for being user-friendly and potentially providing new learners with the groundwork they need to better understand the logic of computer programming, he also expressed his desire to see an innovative and excellent culture of coding education and research flourish throughout Africa.
CEO of Kodris Africa Mugumo Munene stated that the collaboration will greatly benefit students in gaining 21st-century abilities like critical thinking, design thinking, algorithmic thinking, and problem-solving.
The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development has approved Kodris as the first publisher in Kenya to provide resources for teaching coding in elementary and secondary education.
