About Us
Egem Coding is focused on introducing S.T.E.A.M Education to young learners in Nigeria, primarily using Coding and Robotics as a tool.
Founded in January 2021, Egem Coding is driven by the passion for young adults to become well-rounded individuals who make meaningful changes to their immediate society, using technological tools.
We are a team of professionals and experts who are specialised and equipped to work with both neurotypical and neurodiverse learners. We are committed to making Africans become producers of technology rather than consumers.
Egem Coding is a Partner Organisation in the Scratch Education Collaborative Cohort 3 (2023-2025) from Scratch Foundation. This collaboration is the primary source of the initiative, Egem Inspire S.T.E.A.M Education Tour for S.E.N.D learners.
This involves the development and implementation of an ECCR (Equitable Creative Coding Resource) in S.E.N.D. institutions across the 3 major states in Nigeria, that is, Lagos, Abuja, and PortHarcourt.
The reviews speak for themselves
Auntie Kanyin Coding, as we usually call her, is more than a tutor. She has been a wonderful coach in coding for my children. My two boys have learned a lot during the coding sessions. She has been able to build them up in the developing games, creating real situation using Scratch. I want to say that having her as a coach is going to lighten up your children and broaden their minds. If you need a coding coach, please do get in touch.
The hands-on activities build the spirit of team bonding in the students. The Robotics sessions, working with LEGOs, are very practical and expose them to what Robotics is all about. They get the sense of knowing that Scratch is beyond putting blocks of code together, and it is quite practical. They always have fun and they want to keep going with so much energy.
Before now, we’ve been having challenges in showing the learners activities that would better help them in their learning experience. But with their sessions with Egem Coding, the children were super excited and enjoyed the activities, I was excited as well. We had puzzles, coding, and robotics, and we had fun.
We are happy with the sessions with Egem Coding because the kids are learning additional skills that they can use in the future. The children are very happy whenever you are around.
The students were very excited and engaged, and they were looking forward to the next puzzles. They really enjoyed the coding session. It was a really engaging program for the students.
The Coding sessions with Egem Coding have been a great experience for the students living with learning disabilities. They participated in robotics, coding, and puzzles. It is always a thing of joy for them. Thank you.
Egem Coding sessions help our students with fine motor skills, eye-hand coordination, and critical thinking. Keep up the good work, supporting children with special needs.

Programmes
Train the Trainer Sessions
As part of our commitment to sustainability and inclusion, we offer Train the Trainer sessions for educators and teaching assistants in SEND and mainstream schools. Parents, caregivers, and facilitators are also included, as well as youth program coordinators and community leaders. These sessions focus on inclusive STEAM facilitation, adaptive teaching techniques, and practical tech tools, equipping adults to support every learner’s journey regardless of their abilities.
Hour of Code Week
For the past few years, we have continuously participated in the Hour of code with code.org annually. Every first week in December, we visit both neurodiverse and neurotypical institutions to celebrate Computer Science Education Week with the learners. There are lots of fun hands-on activities as well as Coding and Robotics. The learners also receive some merchandise to relive the experience.
Annual Coding Competition
There are annual coding competitions organised within the school where coding club activities are held. This encourages the learners to put on their creativity and innovation hat while utilizing the knowledge gained from the club activities. It encourages healthy competition among learners and boosts their self-confidence. Lots of prizes are up for grabs and certificates of participation.
STEAM Inspire Education Tour for S.E.N.D Learners
In partnership with the Scratch Foundation, we are embarking on a tour across S.E.N.D institutions to introduce the learners to Coding and Robotics as a tool for STEAM Education. This tour is aimed at bridging the technical gap between neurodiverse and neurotypical learners and giving neurodiverse learners the opportunity to experience technology and utilise it. The tour also includes training the educators and the donations of resources to the various SEND institutions to enable them to continue the sessions with their learners.
Physical Coding Clubs at Grade K–12 Schools
We hold weekly clubs for learners at their institution of learning, which involves hands-on Coding and Robotics activities. These learners tinker with LEGO Boost and Spike, as well as Makeblock Codey Rocky and lots of STEAM puzzles. They also work with a range of coding languages specific to their levels and capabilities.
Virtual coding classes
Our virtual coding classes consist of learners from age 7 upwards participating in individual or group online classes. They learn a variety of languages ranging from block-based coding like Scratch, Blockly, code.org, and others. They also learn text-based coding languages such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, C#, and all other relevant languages.
