Douglas and Oasis Mathare Use Coding to Open Opportunities
Raspberry Pi Foundation Blog
EDITOR BRIEF
Douglas, founder of Oasis Mathare, uses technology to help young people in Nairobi’s Mathare community build skills and new opportunities. The organization runs Code Clubs in schools and at its center, introducing children to programming and using learning pathways from the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Douglas says access to a computer, the internet, and guidance can make the possibilities broader.
INSIGHTS
