About CLAP
We’re on a mission to empower the next generation of African innovators through creative coding education.
Our Mission
To make coding accessible, fun, and empowering for every child in Africa. We believe that early exposure to computational thinking prepares kids for success in any field they choose to pursue.
Our Vision
A future where every African child has the opportunity to become a creator, not just a consumer of technology. We envision young innovators building solutions for their communities and the world.
