Top Story: DRIVE100: Inside Computer Rhymes Initiative’s Mission to Help African Children Learn Tech Through Music
For millions of African children, learning computer science feels very difficult to grasp. But Computer Rhymes Initiative, a Nigerian EdTech startup, is changing that narrative through the language of music.
The startup is turning computer science concepts into musical rhymes and animated stories, making technology fun, relatable, and memorable for children aged 5 to 12.
In this edition of Techparley’s DRIVE100, where we celebrate Africa’s boldest startups, we spotlight Computer Rhymes Initiative, founded by Victor Egbe, which is transforming how young Africans grasp digital literacy through the power of music, storytelling, and technology.
“Millions of African children struggle to understand computer concepts due to abstract teaching methods, language barriers, and lack of engaging digital resources. Computer Rhymes turns computer science terms into fun, musical rhymes that children can sing, recite, and remember easily,” Egbe told Techparley.
