About PractiCode Academy

We teach tech by building real things, together.

How we teach

You build in every lesson
Each 60-minute lesson ends with you writing, designing or analysing something yourself.
Instructors review your work
Your projects get feedback from people who do this work, not just a grade.
Examples from home
We teach with examples from everyday Nigerian life: local businesses, naira prices and WhatsApp.
