Groundbreaker Talents Wins SheCanCode STEM Educator Award

Groundbreaker Talents has won the SheCanCode STEM Educator Award, recognising our work expanding access to careers in Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence for African women in Uganda and beyond. View the 2026 winners.

This recognition celebrates organisations helping more women enter science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It reflects a mission at the heart of everything we do.

At Groundbreaker Talents, we build pathways into tech for young African women. Our programme is fully funded and residential — covering tuition, housing, meals, and equipment. We also connect participants to professional networks, because we believe talent — not background — should determine opportunity.

Recognition for a Collective Effort

This award belongs to our entire community.

To the Talents who show up every day with determination and ambition. To our mentors, partners, donors, and supporters who make this work possible. And to everyone who believes the future of technology should reflect talent from every background and every region of the world.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

Expanding Women’s Access to Tech Careers Across Africa

Demand for tech talent is growing fast — and so is the need for more inclusive pathways into the industry, particularly for young women across Africa.

This recognition strengthens our commitment to ensuring more young African women can access the opportunities, networks, and careers they deserve. Together, we are building a tech industry that reflects the world it serves.
