Africa Teen Geeks
Founded in 2014, Africa Teen Geeks is one of Africa’s largest computer science NGOs, impacting 600,000 children and 10,000 teachers, and recruiting 2,000 volunteers. The organization plugs a vital gap in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education in South Africa. It makes use of an artificial intelligence-based learning platform MsZora, providing curriculum-focused information that complements teacher intervention and provides students with a personalized tutor inside and outside the classroom. Its Girl Geek Program trains young girls to be future women in STEM; its teacher training programme is run in collaboration with the Department of Education.
