Tatu City celebrated the graduation of 100 Grade 7 and 8 learners from its After‑School Artificial Intelligence (AI) programme, the second and third cohorts of the initiative.

The programme, which began with a pilot cohort of 20 students in October 2025, now totals 120 graduates across three cohorts.

Organisers highlighted that participants acquired foundational digital literacy, explored AI‑assisted learning tools and completed hands‑on projects with emerging technologies.

Linda Nyaseda, Chief Operating Officer, Kenya, at Tatu City, said the city aims to ensure surrounding communities become active participants in the technology‑driven future rather than passive observers.

She added that expanding the programme from 20 learners last year to 100 this year demonstrates the impact of early digital‑skill exposure and creative confidence building.

The AI initiative operates under Tatu Reach, Tatu City’s community development and ESG platform, and is delivered with partners such as Food Advice, Power Learn Project, Qhala, NGEDA and CCI Global, which provide curriculum design, mentorship and equipment.

Tatu City plans to scale the programme to reach 1,000 young learners, aligning with its broader role as a major data‑centre and digital‑infrastructure hub in East Africa.

The graduation forms part of a suite of community investments, including free vocational training for over 600 locals, a school‑feeding programme delivering more than two million meals, and youth mentorship through Tatu Rugby.

Future educational expansion includes the upcoming Wellington College International Kenya campus, slated to open in September 2028 under founding master Gareth Parker‑Jones.
