COTI Sponsorship: Djed Scholars 👨🎓
We are happy to announce that COTI Group has sponsored the pilot course and first scholarship cohort at Kagumo High; a high-performing high school in Nyeri county, Kenya.
This has enabled us to develop and deliver what is, to the best of our knowledge, the world’s first 📱 mobile-phone-based introduction to Python using Harvard University's CS50 open-source content 📕
Students who performed well in this course will be admitted to the 12-week long intensive DirectEd coding bootcamp as Djed Scholars.
Introductory Coding Course Success!
Our first remote mobile-first coding course was a resounding success, with around 60 students participating and a retention rate of over 70% 🤓 !
This is a significant improvement compared to existing Massive Open Online Courses (#MOOC) with retention rates in the single digits!
Our next step is to partner with more high schools to offer a second round of the intro course. This will enable us give more students this life-changing opportunity!
Join the DirectEd team!
We are currently looking for a Chief #Marketing Officer 🤗 and an #Accounting Assistant 🕵️♂️ to join our team.
If you are passionate about marketing or accounting and want to make a difference, we would love to hear from you.
