Tunga Academy

Learn what truly matters in tech with an academy backed by 10 years of experience in matching African software developers with global careers.

Not every founder begins with funding, clarity, or a perfect idea.

So why are we all told to follow the same path?
TechWings Africa (TWA) is doing it differently.

Two tracks. Built for where you actually are:

Still exploring, questioning, figuring it out?
Future Founders Track →

Already building and need structure + momentum?
Build Now Track →

Applications are OPEN.

Most people get stuck following advice meant for a different stage.

Exploring? “Build fast” feels like pressure.
Building? “Keep learning” feels like hiding.
So we simplified it:

Future Founders (clarity): https://t.co/pcOTowkC5v
Build Now (execution): https://t.co/ifJ61f4olf

Find your stage. Take the right step.

Not everyone starts at the same place—and that’s okay.

That’s why Tech Wings Africa (TWA) has two tracks:
Got an idea but not sure where to start? → Future Founders
Already building something? → Build Now
Different starting points, same goal—build something real.

Applications are open 👇
Future Founders: https://t.co/pcOTowkC5v
Build Now: https://t.co/ifJ61f4olf

At Tunga Academy we believe the opportunity to build a tech career should be equal for everyone — wherever you're starting from.

Both tracks. Real skills. Real mentorship. Real outcomes.

"Should I do Frontend or Full Stack?"

Wrong question.

The right question is: what kind of problem-solver are you?

🧵 A thread.

[Tunga Academy @TungaAcademy]

Know yourself.
Pick your path.
Start building.

That's it. That's the whole strategy.

[Tunga Academy @TungaAcademy]

Somewhere in Africa, the next big tech product is sitting inside someone's head — waiting for the skills to bring it to life. 🌍💡

What if that person is you?

This week, we dare you to find out. Open your laptop and start building. 🚀💻

Stop building in isolation on your computers." 🛑💻

Panelist Timothy Maenda (Country Director, @StartHubAfrica , Kenya) challenged our Nairobi audience to think bigger. Don't just look for jobs—use your tech skills to solve local problems, build startups, and CREATE jobs. 🌍🚀

Watch his insights on going from Developer to Founder 👇

"I was hesitant to participate as a student..." 🎓

Cindy Ogutu is a Full-Stack Developer studying at Strathmore. She pushed past the hesitation, attended our Nairobi event, and walked away with a crucial lesson: Assertiveness is key. 🔑

Having the skills isn't enough. You have to know how to pitch your capabilities and advocate for yourself in the interview room. 🗣️📈

Students, your voice matters in these spaces. Show up! 🚀

Software engineers are the happiest people on Earth now.

They pay $100/month for Claude Code to do the work.

Their employer pays them $10,000/month for the results.

$9,900 profit for sipping coffee and talking to AI.

The funniest part?

Not a single dev with a full-time job will ever admit this publicly

What a time to be alive.

[Tunga Academy @TungaAcademy]

Every developer you admire once stared at a blank screen with zero idea what to do next.

The only difference? They typed the first line anyway. 💻

Drop the perfectionism. This week—just start. 🚀

What are we building this Monday? 👇

It’s #TestimonialThursday! 🚀

Deep Tech Architect & Founder Luke Tsalwa shares why he joined our Feb 11th event: "I wasn't receiving feedback on my remote applications."

His top lessons?
1️⃣ Optimize LinkedIn.
2️⃣ Demonstrate skills in your CV, don't just list them. 3️⃣ Follow a formal remote work roadmap.

Real talk for real devs. 💯🌍

One month since our Nairobi Masterclass! 🇰🇪✨

Panelist Irene Mwangi from @PLPAfrica called the event a "game changer." Why? Because it’s time to stop guessing and start addressing the actual barriers preventing African devs from getting hired globally.

"The skills are there, but the gap remains." Let’s bridge it.

Ian Odhiambo was a developer who'd plateaued.

He joined our Full Stack Track and didn't just upskill — he broke through.

If you're stuck, curious, or just starting out — the roadmap is waiting.

Most people think a Full Stack Developer is just "someone who codes a lot."

Actually, they build entire products — front to back — from scratch.

Here's what that really means 🧵👇

[Tunga Academy @TungaAcademy]

The path to becoming one?

1. HTML, CSS, JS — the foundation
2. React + Python or Node.js — the power
3. SQL — the data layer
4. Ship it. Build projects. Go live.

That's the Tunga Academy Full Stack Track in 4 steps.
