One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I founded the organization named Klassroom (previously Lets Learn Coding) to tackle youth unemployment in my country. Since founding my organization, I have reached more than 4,000 young people between 16 to 25 years old in high schools, colleges, and universities through over 50 capacity-building workshops on coding. Furthermore, through my free courses and tutorials, more than 20,000 people have been reached.
