Township code school looks to crowdfund for future success

Every week, students from the Makhaza area of Khayelitsha gather at the Makhaza Ikamava Youth branch to explore the world of coding and visual design under the Creative Codes computer literacy project.

So far, the Creative Code students have done really well, producing some amazing work from what they’ve learnt. But the project needs some help, so they’ve turned to crowdfunding.

Creative Codes launched a campaign on local crowdfunding site, Thundafund, to help it renovate its computer lab, offer financial support to students going to tertiary institutions in 2015 , develop mobile tutorials and publish open source and open content visual design lessons, and code templates for students.

Creative Codes says funding will help lessons in the Makhaza computer lab will run more efficiently and also give computer literacy teachers around SA (and the rest of the world access) to Creative Codes’ mobile-compatible coding lessons.

The Thundafund campaign is doing very well at the moment, R12 300 of the R32 000 goal has been raised so far with 31 days to go before funding closes – Creative Codes got a boost from the World Design Capital designation which contributed R5 000 after the campaign passed the R5 000 funding mark.
