02Why we exist
The talent is already here
What's missing isn't talent. It's the encounter — early enough to become a calling.
In Morocco, most students meet AI long after school. By then, the choices are already made.

Who we are
Chnondir is a Moroccan association, based in Salé. Two years in, a network of more than thirty volunteer mentors carries the work into public schools — classroom by classroom, hackathon by hackathon. Officially registered as Chnondir Association (Registration No. 2025/10م). Chnondir is also an Associate Member of the Linux Foundation. Our official mission is to provide Moroccan public school students with early, equitable access to artificial intelligence and digital vocation discovery.

Five steps, five doors
No prerequisites. No personal equipment. One laptop per team is enough.
02
Experiment
Hands on the technology instead of hearing about it.
03
Build
A real project, made in a team, from idea to something that runs.
04
Present
Standing up and defending the work in front of a jury.
05
Go further
A path, a field of study, and a community to carry on with.

TafraTech: The Showcase
An AI hackathon with Anthropic, built around Claude Code
The culmination of the TafraTech program. In collaboration with global AI experts, students spend two days hosted at a partner university campus turning theory into reality. By the end, students who had never written a line of code shipped a functional product.

UCipher
Cybersecurity is often treated as an invisible black box. UCipher turns it into a mathematical playground. Students learn cryptography and network defense not by reading theory, but by actively encrypting, breaking, and securing data.
- 2026 Bootcamp
- Cryptography
- Defensive Logic
- 01
Deconstruct
Analyze raw algorithms to understand how information is mathematically hidden in plain sight.
- 02
Exploit
Act like an adversary. Break basic encryption models to uncover structural vulnerabilities.
- 03
Secure
Apply cryptographic logic to patch weaknesses, rebuild the cipher, and defend the data.
Turn the wheel. The message changes sides.

11What's next
From an association to a national moment
A structured program changes a cohort. A national infrastructure changes a generation. We are scaling our proven, multi-session frameworks into a nationwide blueprint for early tech education.
- 01
Spread
Scaling the framework. We are deploying TafraTech and UCipher not as standalone events, but as rigorous, multi-session academies integrated directly into public school systems.
- 02
Connect
The global-to-local pipeline. Deepening our alliances with international AI leaders and private universities to provide public school students with industry-grade tools and elite mentorship.
- 03
Gather
The national arena. Expanding our final showcase, TafraHack, into a country-wide convergence where young developers ship live products alongside industry experts.
Why support us
You're not funding workshops.You're revealing a generation.
Every dirham lets a young Moroccan meet AI and cybersecurity early enough to make it their path.
