Tech startup incubator launches new Edtech initiative called Re:Learn

Tech startup incubator, Co-Creation Hub (CcHub), has launched a new education technology initiative called re:learn, according to media reports.

Re:learn is an initiative that will be focused on leading research projects to identify ways technology can be adopted smartly in Nigerian schools.

In a statement, CcHub said Re:learn is built to bridge the local and international education gap by enhancing learning experience in schools through a combination of projects targeted at research and learning.

The company also added that re:learn will enrich the tech-community by supporting EdTech startups, according to a TechCabal report.

CcHUB is also taking the initiative beyond the borders of Lagos. A re:learn centre will be opened in Abuja in the coming months and it will “expand the Hub’s work in the area of education to the Northern and Eastern parts of the country.”

Within the past year, along with its incubation programme, CcHUB has been heavily involved in teaching kids the basics of coding.

In November 2015, it hosted 50 high schoolers during the World Computer Literacy Day. The hub also participated in the Computer Science Education Week last year by hosting the Hour of Code for kids aged 5-18 in December.
