About CodeAugs

A Ghanaian academy building the next generation of makers

CodeAugs started in a single borrowed classroom in Adenta with nine students and four laptops. Today we teach more than three hundred learners a term, on campus and online.

Our story

From a borrowed classroom to a full academy

In 2019 our founder ran a free Saturday coding club for children in his neighbourhood. Parents kept asking the same question: can you keep going next term? That question became CodeAugs.

We are deliberately small per class and deliberately practical. We would rather a student finish one working project they understand than sit through twenty lessons they cannot explain. Everything in our curriculum has to survive one test: can the learner show it to someone and describe how it works?

Today CodeAugs runs weekday evening classes, a Saturday Builders Lab, in-school enrichment for fourteen partner schools, and a live online classroom for Ghanaian families abroad.

Mission

To give every young person in Ghana a practical, affordable route into technology - starting with logic and ending with work they are proud of.

Vision

A generation of West African students who build the software and hardware their own communities need, rather than only consuming what is imported.

Promise

Honest feedback. If a course is not the right fit for your child, we will tell you and move them - or refund the term.

Values

What we hold ourselves to

01

Show, don't tell

Every claim we make about a student is backed by something they built.

02

Patience first

Confusion is part of programming. Our mentors are trained to sit in it with the student.

03

Access matters

Scholarship places in every cohort and lab laptops for students without one at home.

04

Local relevance

Briefs drawn from Ghanaian life - markets, transport, farming, school administration.

Our team

The people in the room with your child

Every instructor is interviewed, teaches a live demo lesson, and completes child-safeguarding training before their first class.
