About Chnondir
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.
Why we exist
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.
Five steps, five doors
No prerequisites. No personal equipment. One laptop per team is enough.
- Discover — The moment a student thinks: this is for me, and I can do it.
- Experiment — Hands on the technology instead of hearing about it.
- Build — A real project, made in a team, from idea to something that runs.
- Present — Standing up and defending the work in front of a jury.
- Go further — A path, a field of study, and a community to carry on with.
