Builders at work in the Zuka workspace

Who we serve

We support talent at every stage:

  1. High School
  2. Post-High School

We are built around three capabilities.

Learn how AI works and use it to build products, solutions, businesses and new ideas.

Work

Work with AI.

Use AI to become more effective, productive and adaptable in your profession.

Lead

Lead in the age of AI.

Develop the judgement, creativity and leadership needed to navigate change and create opportunities.

Is Zuka a school?

No. Schools pass on knowledge and then end. Zuka gets you building and does not end. You will learn a lot here, but learning is a side effect. The main work is making real things with real people for real stakes.

Which program is for me?

Pick the stage you are at. Still in high school? Bootcamp. Finished high school or at university? Foundation. Recently graduated? Graduate. Already working? Professional, or any of the other programs, because professionals can join across all four. Still unsure? Write to us and a real person will help you choose.

Do I have to start at Bootcamp?

No. Each program is built for a stage of your journey, not a step you must clear first. Start with the one that matches where you are today.

Do I need a technical background?

No. Every program starts from where its participants are. You learn how to use AI tools and apply them to whatever you choose to do.

What does it cost?

Bootcamp is KES 30,000, Foundation and Professional are KES 45,000 each and Graduate is KES 80,000. You see the price in Kenyan shillings before you commit. There are no hidden costs and no application fees.

How do I pay, and what if I can't yet?

You pay with M-Pesa from the enrollment page. Approve the prompt on your phone and your account is created as soon as the payment confirms. Not ready? Choose pay later. We save your details and a real person calls you. Your spot stays open while you get the money together.

Your intake is open.
