We’re Not Just Teaching Tech.
We’re preparing youth for future of learning and work
TeknaLabs is a digital readiness organisation that works with NGOs, schools, and youth-focused programmes to prepare young people for a world shaped by AI.
We measure where learners are, build the skills they're missing, and prove the impact to the people who fund the work.
Our Values
-
Access: Reaching youth wherever they are, with or without devices.
-
Confidence: Building digital self-belief. Not just technical skills.
-
Relevance: Real-world tools and tasks. Not just theory.
-
Growth: Lifelong learning pathways, not one-off training.
Our Why
Africa faces a silent crisis: a growing digital skills gap. While the rest of the world races forward, millions on the continent remain underprepared to participate meaningfully in the digital economy.
​
At TeknaLabs, we’re flipping the script...starting with the individual.
We don’t just teach you how to build tech solutions. We develop the core competencies needed to be confident in a tech driven world.
The skills learnt give our young people access to digital careers, a digital identity, and the many other digital opportunities in a digital economy.
Our Story
Founded by David Luboya-Mushila, TeknaLabs began as a response to the lack of preparation students had for tech and programming focused careers, but through local community workshops and initiatives we realized we cared more about solving the bigger and more particular issue of AI & digital readiness as we realized the role digital skills plays in preparing young people for digital careers of the future and a digital world .
Now TeknaLabs exists to help fulfill the digital agendas of schools, NGOs and funders across the country our innovative insights and diagnostics tool, self learn LMS and indsutry leading pedagogy. With foundations in grassroots learning and eyes on Africa's future, TeknaLabs is building the digital agency of tomorrow, today.
