We created Coasted Code to address the growing gap in access to quality, practical STEM and Artificial Intelligence education for children across Africa. While technology continues to transform the world, many African children, particularly those in underserved communities, have limited opportunities to learn coding, robotics, AI, and other emerging technologies. Traditional education often emphasises theoretical knowledge, leaving children with insufficient opportunities to explore, experiment, and develop practical problem-solving skills.
We believe every child deserves the opportunity to become a creator of technology, regardless of their geographical location or socioeconomic background. This inspired us to develop an inclusive, age-appropriate learning ecosystem that combines hands-on STEM education, interactive educational games, real-world projects, and accessible online learning.
Our goal is not simply to teach children how to code, but to nurture creativity, critical thinking, confidence, and innovation from an early age. By making technology education engaging, practical, and accessible, we aim to empower a generation of young Africans who can develop solutions to challenges in their communities and contribute meaningfully to the global digital economy.
At Coasted Code, children aged 6–17 learn to create technology through live online classes, school programmes, workshops and hands-on projects. Our three age-based pathways introduce learners to coding, robotics, artificial intelligence and computational thinking. Instead of only watching demonstrations, students write code, build robots, develop applications and solve practical problems, supported by instructors who assess their progress.
Learning continues beyond the classroom through Coasted Code Games, available on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store and desktop computers. Interactive activities such as Maths Challenge, Codi and Coasted Quiz turn mathematics, logic and programming concepts into enjoyable challenges. Children practise independently, develop problem-solving skills and stay motivated through game-based activities.
Our desktop platform is designed for use in school ICT laboratories and at home. School licences allow institutions to provide students with access to the games and monitor learning progress, complementing classroom teaching with digital practice.
For example, a student can learn a programming concept in a live lesson, apply it in a project and reinforce their logical reasoning through a game. By combining guided instruction, practical creation and accessible learning tools, Coasted Code helps children in Ghana and beyond move from consuming technology to confidently building with it.
Coasted Code has grown from a Ghana-based STEM education initiative into an expanding international learning community through remote education, school partnerships, STEM workshops and digital learning platforms.
Our live online programmes have enabled us to reach children beyond Ghana, including learners in Nigeria, Cameroon, the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia. This approach removes geographical barriers and allows children to access practical coding, robotics and artificial intelligence education regardless of their location.
We are also expanding through partnerships with schools, introducing structured STEM programmes and hands-on learning experiences that complement traditional classroom education.
A major driver of our growth is Coasted Code Games, available on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store and desktop computers. These platforms enable children to engage with mathematics, coding and problem-solving activities beyond scheduled lessons. Our school licensing model also creates opportunities for institutions to adopt our educational games and monitor students' learning progress.
Through collaborations with educators, technology organisations and schools, we continue to strengthen our reach and develop a scalable approach to STEM education. Our long-term goal is to bring accessible, practical and engaging technology education to more children across Africa and beyond.
Coasted Code has continuously evolved in response to feedback from students, parents, instructors and partner schools. We began with instructor-led coding and robotics lessons and have expanded into an integrated STEM learning ecosystem combining artificial intelligence, hands-on projects, educational games and digital learning tools.
One major improvement was introducing three age-based learning pathways for children aged 6–17, allowing us to tailor learning activities to different developmental stages and skill levels. We also expanded our remote learning programmes to make STEM education accessible to children beyond Ghana.
To address the need for continuous learning outside scheduled classes, we developed Coasted Code Games, available on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store and desktop computers. These interactive games make mathematics, coding and logical reasoning more engaging and accessible.
We subsequently introduced a school licensing model, enabling schools to integrate our educational games into their ICT lessons and monitor students' learning progress. We have also strengthened our curriculum, introduced more practical projects and improved our digital learning systems to support instructors and learners.
These improvements have transformed Coasted Code from a primarily instructor-led programme into a scalable educational ecosystem that combines learning, creativity, technology and play.
Getting started with Coasted Code is simple and accessible to parents, children, educators and schools worldwide.
Visit www.coastedcode.com to explore our STEM programmes and select an age-appropriate learning pathway: Explorers (6–9 years), Builders (10–13 years) or Innovators (14–17 years). Parents can enrol their children in live online classes, where trained instructors guide them through coding, robotics, artificial intelligence and hands-on projects.
For independent learning, download Coasted Code Games from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, or access our educational games through the web and desktop platforms. Children can practise mathematics, coding, logical reasoning and problem-solving through interactive challenges.
Schools interested in implementing our innovation can contact us to arrange a consultation. We provide structured STEM curricula, instructor support, practical learning resources and educational games with school licensing options.
Educators and organisations can also collaborate with us to organise STEM workshops and introduce practical technology education to their communities.
