ignyte254 which was founded on 4th March 2019, is a student run tech community based in Chuka University, Tharaka Nithi County, Kenya.
Our community is made of members with a desire to leverage their software development skills with the currently used technologies in the tech industry.
There is a huge disconnect between the technologies taught in school and what is used in the tech industry. Existing tech clubs in some institutions around under-developed areas experience challenges in trying to deal with the issue. Having avenues where people can receive foundation or direction on how to use these technologies is a plus.
To provide knowledge and guidance on the active and emerging technologies in the tech industry.
Collaborate with established tech clubs to provide tech-avenues for growth in institutions around under-developed areas.
