Bridging
Sierra Leone's
Digital Skills Gap
We're building free world-class education, intelligent tools, and thriving communities so Sierra Leone's brightest minds can lead the digital future.
What's the best path to learn web development in SL?
What We Offer
Tools. Education. Community. Impact.
We combine free online courses, intelligent products, and in-person outreach to equip Sierra Leoneans with the knowledge and resources to thrive in the digital economy.
Built for Sierra Leone
Every course and tool is designed with local context—real problems from home, real examples from our communities, real solutions for Sierra Leonean careers.
Free World-Class Education
Four complete, industry-standard courses—Python, HTML & CSS, Git, and Internet Fundamentals. Always free, self-paced, no ads, accessible to anyone with a browser.
In-Person School Programs
We visit secondary schools across Sierra Leone inspiring students about tech careers—opening doors to opportunities most never knew existed. Meet your future.

Products building
UniGuide SL, TrackClass, and Treeventx — TrackClass 85% complete
Founded in 2024. We're intentionally focused — a small number of programs, done properly, with room to grow. That discipline is what got us here, and it's what we're building on next.
What We're Building
Products in the pipeline
Beyond training — we build tools for Sierra Leone's digital future. These are products our community is actively shipping.
UniGuide SL
AI-powered university pathfinder for Sierra Leone
The Problem
Most Sierra Leonean students navigate university admissions blind - information is scattered across dozens of websites, first-generation students outside Freetown have zero structured guidance, and private advisors cost money most families don't have.
Potential Impact
UniGuide will serve an estimated 15,000 students annually, connecting them with scholarships, institutions, and mentors they would never have discovered independently. First-generation students get the guidance their parents can't provide.
Key Features
- AI-driven pathway quiz that matches your grades, interests & career goals to ideal programmes
- Database of 90+ Sierra Leonean & international universities with admission requirements
- 60+ career pathways with salary ranges, skill requirements & university pathways
- 40+ course listings with real-world relevance and job market demand data

How to build your first portfolio with no prior experience
You don't need years of experience to have a strong portfolio. Here's the framework we share with every student we visit — build three projects, deploy them, and make them findable.
Why Sierra Leone's digital moment is now — and what we're doing about it
Mobile internet is growing. Smartphone prices are falling. A generation of Sierra Leoneans has decided to build. Tech Inspire SL exists because this moment is real — and it will not wait.
7 Lessons Every Startup Founder Should Know
