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.

Equal access, from the start

Ages 8 to 18, in Moroccan public schools. Priority to girls and to under-served regions.

03How it works

Five steps, five doors

No prerequisites. No personal equipment. One laptop per team is enough.

01

Discover

The moment a student thinks: this is for me, and I can do it.

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.

06Our method

We build the tools we teach with

Our mentors don't arrive with slides. They arrive with games — built with Claude Code, running on any laptop, no heavy equipment needed.

Where we work

Rooted in Salé. Reaching further.

Rabat-Salé-Kénitra is home — Salé most of all. The rest of the country is next, starting with the regions that have the least.

The oldest door in the city, and the newest thing on its skyline.
