Bulawayo, Zimbabwe · Est. 2019
Rigorous computer science, year long mentorship, and the infrastructure to run both, built in Bulawayo, open to students wherever they are.
Our mission
Adopted at founding. Unchanged since.
To make rigorous computer science education, and the mentorship that turns it into a career, reachable by anyone prepared to work for it, starting with the ones nobody else was going to reach.
No one is turned away for inability to pay. Apply first. We work out the money afterwards.
What we do
Courses and year long school clubs. Rigorous, mentored, and priced on what you can pay.
Courses and clubs 02We bring the curriculum, the mentors and the culture. Your institution brings the room.
Host a club 03Poseidon, verifiable credentials, and Studio work delivered for real clients.
What we build 04You do not graduate from Emzini weCode. Alumni, Fellows and mentors stay in the house.
The networkOur culture
Our strongest asset is not the syllabus. It is the culture students step into. One where effort is expected, difficulty is normal, and nobody is written off for starting behind.

Bring the work ethic. We will sort out the rest, including the fee.
