Founder & Executive DirectorFundi Bots
I am passionate about the intersection of education, design, business and technology.
In 2011, I founded Fundi Bots, an education non-profit with a mission to accelerate learning for (science) students in Africa. Fundi Bots aims to promote better learning outcomes, improved career prospects and real-world technological advancement in African schools and communities through training and experimentation in hands-on, project-based and skills-oriented science disciplines, starting with robotics.
Today, Fundi Bots works with more than 180 schools, 400 teachers and 11,000 students in Uganda. Our goal is to accelerate science learning and provide workforce training for one million young African people by 2030.
Through my work with Fundi Bots, I was selected as a 2014 Echoing Green Fellow and a 2014 Ashoka Fellow.
Echoing Green and Ashoka Fellowships provide financial, logistical and advisory support to emerging world leaders to pursue ideas that try to solve some of the world’s biggest problems.
In 2017, I was selected as an African Visionary Fellow by the Segal Family Foundation.
