DigiSkool Teams Head to Codeavour Finals in Indonesia

In Short

• DigiSkool says two student teams will represent Kenya at the Codeavour 7.0 international stage in Indonesia in May 2026.
• The teams advanced after winning the Innovation and Entrepreneurship track at the regional competition in Nairobi.
• The update follows DigiSkool’s April holiday coding and robotics bootcamps running across multiple locations.

What Happened

DigiSkool, a Kenya-based EdTech provider, says it is taking two student teams to the Codeavour 7.0 international finals in Indonesia in May 2026. The teams qualified after competing at the Codeavour regional competition in Nairobi, where DigiSkool said they won Track 1, Innovation and Entrepreneurship.

The organisation has also been running April holiday bootcamps across the country. In posts shared in late March and April, DigiSkool said learners are being trained in Scratch programming, robotics, 3D design, electronics, and web development. Scratch is a drag-and-drop coding tool, which is often used to teach programming basics without writing a lot of text-based code.

One recent bootcamp was hosted at Kapsabet Boys High School, where DigiSkool held a “Media Day” to let students present their projects and talk through what they built. The programme format points to a hands-on model, where learners ship small projects and practice presenting, not just watching lessons.

Why It Matters

Competition pathways like Codeavour can be a practical way for Kenyan students to build portfolio-ready work. A portfolio is a set of projects that shows skills, similar to a student’s highlight reel for future study or jobs.

For schools, these bootcamps signal rising demand for structured STEM programmes that combine coding, robotics, and basic electronics. For the wider EdTech market, DigiSkool’s international participation is also a marketing lever. It helps the provider show outcomes, not only training hours, when pitching to parents and school administrators.

If the Indonesia finals go well, expect DigiSkool to use the result to expand school partnerships and increase enrolment for future holiday bootcamps.
