Welcome to Lakwet Tech Academy
We're an online technology school for kids and teens aged 6–17, with live classes taught by real teachers. Here, learning feels like an adventure. Every lesson ends with something your child made: a game, a robot program, a website or an AI experiment.
David Wambia and Gideon Kipkorir have spent 5 years teaching children technology. Lakwet Tech Academy brings that experience to curious minds across Kenya and around the world.

Build a circuit with Zuri ⚡
Flip the switch, add parts and see what happens. Every robot starts with circuits just like this one.
🧑🏾🔧 Zuri says:
The switch is open, so electricity can't flow around the loop.
AI Galaxy preview
Teach Bobo to read feelings 🪐
AI learns from examples. Give Bobo some happy and sad sentences, then see if it can guess new ones. Everything runs on your device, and nothing you type is sent anywhere.
1. Teach with examples
- 😊 I love playing football with my friends
- 😊 We are going to the beach
- 😢 I dropped my ice cream
- 😢 My friend moved far away
Bobo knows 20 words from 4 examples.
2. Test Bobo
Type a sentence and I'll guess how it feels.
Think like a scientist: AI only knows what it has been taught. If the examples are unfair or too few, its guesses will be too. That's why we learn to use AI responsibly.
What kids build
Projects your child will create

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Who is Lakwet Tech Academy for?
Children and teens aged 6 to 17, in Kenya and anywhere in the world. Lessons are grouped into three age pathways so everyone starts at the right level.
Does my child need to know anything about computers first?
No. Little Explorers start with puzzles and picture blocks. Older learners can jump in at the level that suits them.
What device do we need?
A laptop, desktop or tablet with a modern web browser, plus headphones for live classes. Our coding labs run inside the browser, so there's nothing to install, and they're built to work on modest devices and slower connections.
How much does it cost?
Live online classes start from KES 5,000 a month (Starter, 1 class a week), and the Innovator plan with 2 classes a week is KES 8,500 a month. A 12-week Term Pass is KES 21,000. See our packages for bootcamps, private lessons and sibling discounts.
How do the online classes work?
Your child joins a live class with a Lakwet teacher and up to 7 other children of a similar age. Each 60-minute class includes a warm-up challenge, a new skill, build time and show-and-tell.
How do we pay?
By M-Pesa. Families outside Kenya can message us on WhatsApp and we'll arrange the easiest way to pay.
How do we contact you?
Message us on WhatsApp for bookings, questions and support. We reply as quickly as we can.
How long has Lakwet been teaching?
Our team has been teaching children technology for five years. Lakwet Tech Academy brings that experience together in one online school, so more children can learn with us.
How do you keep children safe online?
Parents create and manage children's accounts, profiles are private by default, there is no open chat between children and strangers, and nothing a child makes is shared publicly without a parent's permission.
How do we get started?
Message us on WhatsApp with your child's age and interests. We'll recommend the right class, you choose a package and pay by M-Pesa, and your child joins their first live class.
