Tangible Africa, established through a collaboration between Nelson Mandela University and the Leva Foundation, was selected as one of 20 projects from a pool of 160 initiatives across the continent to participate in a prestigious event in South Korea.
This opportunity enables the venture to prepare for global partnerships, train in innovative strategies, and connect with new opportunities.
In 2024, Tangible Africa achieved significant milestones. Tangible coding was widely adopted in countries such as Ghana, Kenya, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Uganda.
Furthermore, the organization gained international recognition in countries like the United States, Ireland, and Indonesia, where projects like Tangible Coding, the Rangers game, and Micro garnered interest and facilitated collaborations.
Additionally, Tangible Africa introduced innovative tools like the Grand Prix-themed coding game, Speed Stars, showcased at the British Grand Prix, and Code Cup, a game tailored for prominent football clubs in the UK.
Beyond this, the development of a new web application solidified its role as a key player in promoting coding accessibility worldwide.
This participation in the South Korean event is funded by the Korea Africa Economic Cooperation Trust Fund through the African Development Bank’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship Lab.
With its growing recognition and groundbreaking initiatives, Tangible Africa appears poised to become a global leader in coding education.
