Why Kenya?
The aim of the project is to offer learners in Kenya access to Estonia’s educational innovation and a modern learning experience inspired by the kood/Jõhvi model. Our programme is a coding education based on self-directed and group-based learning methodologies, designed to ensure that learners become competitive in the job market and gain skills that meet the needs of employers.
To achieve this, we are organising a three-week coding bootcamp (Selection Sprint) in collaboration with GreatWell Training College, located in eastern Nairobi.
Learners who successfully complete the sprint will have the opportunity to join the 12-month core kood/Jõhvi programme. The core curriculum can be completed remotely (from Kenya), as the studies are conducted on kood/Jõhvi’s innovative cloud-based learning platform.
This platform fosters collaboration among learners and supports the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skill

What is the Selection Sprint?
The Selection Sprint is a three-week, full-time test period for candidates.
The learning process begins with covering various topics on our platform. Each week concludes with an exam that tests the knowledge you’ve acquired that week. There will be group tasks designed to reinforce the learning outcomes from the previous week.
Being accepted into the Selection Sprint prepares you for what might be the most intense yet rewarding three weeks of your life. You’ll make new friends, learn a great deal, and achieve more than you ever thought possible!
