ThinkYoung STEM School
​Over the past decade, ThinkYoung and its partners have trained more than 1,900 teenagers across Europe, West Asia, and Africa - including Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda and Ethiopia - with over 60% female participation.
​
2025 marked the 10th anniversary of our STEM School (formerly ThinkYoung Coding School), dedicated to advancing STEM education. ​Our curriculum has evolved over the years to ensure that all students - regardless of background or skill level - gain exposure to cutting-edge technologies. Recent updates include new modules on AI, robotics, and the metaverse.​
Our Approach
Our approach is informed by ThinkYoung’s Skills Mismatch 4: East Africa report, which highlights the importance of on-the-job training, internships, and skills development, especially for women and under-represented groups.
​
We believe that joint public- and private-sector initiatives are essential to expanding access to ICT skills and creating opportunities in higher-value sectors. This combination of delivery experience and research insight ensures our programmes are locally relevant and effective.​
