Seven students on Friday, 6th December 2019, graduated from the cohort 1 of the Outbox EDU Core class. The class was held after a series of three EDU preparatory classes held subsequently from June 2018, March and June 2019. The EDU Core class ran from 2nd September until Friday 6th December when the students graduated. The seven graduands were amongst 10 participants who went through the program.

Currently, I am a teacher of Computer literacy at a Primary School in Nansana but I’ve always wanted to be more than this. I have always dreamed of being a programmer. I tried self teaching but it was quite frustrating. I felt like I would learn better with people.
