Education and Training Projects
Our Computer Training Center in Jinja, Uganda is fully funded by the hacker community and provides free-to-access technical and job skill training to Ugandans. We have provided job opportunities for hundreds of students since opening in 2010.
Our makerspace in Jinja, Uganda is funded by the hacker community and provides advanced instruction and resources for budding technologists. We teach robotics, design, programming and much more.
We have personally deployed astounding educational resources all over the globe, including a unique offline training solution. Read about our free educational solutions, hear our stories, learn from our successes and find out what worked for us.
As professional (“white hat”) hackers, we understand the threats posed by computer-wielding criminals (or “black hat”) hackers. Our security awareness training initiatives provide sound advice to those seeking to protect themselves from online crime.
We have had great experience with several technologies and resources in our maker training classes. Read about our free training solutions, hear our stories, learn from our successes and find out what worked for us.
We have designed, deployed and maintained several computer classrooms all over the world, thanks to the generous donations of our volunteers. Each installation was pre-loaded with our offline educational resources.

The focus of Hackers in Education is to connect hackers with schools and police departments to educate students on cyber security. You read that right. Hackers alongside local PD educating students.
