Computer Science Academy (CSA) Africa Showcase

Welcome to the CSA Africa Showcase!

CSA Africa is a transformative international outreach initiative under the School of Computing Science. Founded by Dr. Sofiat Olaosebikan, the initiative is driven by her personal journey of overcoming limited access to computing education in Nigeria to become an academic in the field. Her story fuels our commitment to bridging the tech education gap across Africa, ensuring that young Africans have the opportunity to build successful careers in technology.

Since 2018, CSA Africa has raised over £150,000 in funding, delivered 5 Python programming workshops across the continent (Nigeria, Rwanda, Kenya, and online) and empowering 700+ young Africans with technical skills and opening doors to careers in technology.

This showcase event brings together the CSA Africa community to celebrate our impact, share powerful stories, and explore how you can be part of our next chapter.

This event will take place in person, with an option to join remotely via Zoom. If you’re unable to attend onsite, we warmly welcome you to participate online using the link below:
