today: what is digital fluency?

Ten minutes at a time

Each lesson is one short whiteboard video with the same friendly host, so you can learn on a matatu ride or between classes.

Start from zero

No jargon and no prior knowledge needed. Every idea is explained with examples from Kenya and East Africa.

Learn by doing

Modules end with an activity and a short quiz, so you leave each one with something you can use straight away.
