Who We Are
Six years of learning, creativity and empowering young minds through practical technology education.
Our story
Children Learn Technology Best by Building With It
Gracotech Initiative began with a simple belief: technology should be learned by doing. For six years we have run practical technology classes for children and teenagers, including coding, design, robotics, 3D animation and AI, turning curious learners into confident young creators.
We work with parents, facilitators and schools in Lagos State to reach more learners through holiday programmes, virtual classrooms, school partnerships and our Kids Co-a-thon coding competition.
Gracotech Initiative is registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria. We are growing our reach so that more young Africans can gain the digital skills that lead to decent jobs and enterprises of their own.

What drives us
Mission & Vision
Our Mission
To raise highly skilled, innovative and purpose-driven young Africans by moving learning away from rote classroom theory and into active creation, building the early digital literacy that opens doors to decent jobs and entrepreneurship.
Our Vision
An Africa where every child, girl or boy, in every kind of school, gets to discover what they can build with technology, and grows up ready to create, lead and solve problems in a digital world.
What we stand for
Our Values
Learning by Doing
Every session puts real tools in learners’ hands. We measure progress by what they can build.
Creativity
We encourage children to imagine, experiment and make things that are uniquely theirs.
Inclusion
Girls and boys from every background deserve a seat at the table of technology.
Purpose
We teach technology as a way to solve real problems in learners’ homes, schools and communities.
Excellence
We hold high standards for our teaching, our facilitators and the projects our learners produce.
Integrity & Child Safety
We are honest with parents, schools and partners, and we keep every learning space safe.
How we teach
Our Approach: Learn. Create. Grow.
Every Gracotech programme follows the same three-step rhythm, whether the topic is code, robots, design or animation.
Learn
Guided, age-appropriate lessons introduce a new concept and the tools to explore it.
Create
Learners apply what they have learned to build a real project: a program, a robot, a design or an animation.
Grow
Learners share, compete and improve, building confidence, teamwork and a portfolio they are proud of.
Our contribution
Aligned with the Global Goals
