Africa Teen Geeks has taught 49000 children from disadvantaged communities with 23000 of those being girls. December 2018 it entered into a partnership with the department of basic education to develop and implement a coding and robotics curriculum to be taught from Grade R-9 to public schools which will reach 9 million learners every year. This means that every child in SA irrespective of gender, race & socioeconomic background will have access to tech education and create a pipeline of girls and people of color closing the gender gap and bring racial parity in tech.
