Applying to KSC's Fellowship
Knowledge Sharing Campaign (KSC) empowers African students in the diaspora and reverses brain drain by providing them with access to modern technology, which becomes a culture that promotes the love for quality education. Every month, we bring together hundreds of African students for weekend workshops to teach them basic computer skills so they can improve their education and their job prospects when they go home. We then offer a few selected students a 4-week hands-on Agile software development internship. Students in this program do problem solving using the discipline of Agile software development and are expected to develop a simple application. This teaches them a discipline useful in many environments even if they don’t become programmers.

Everyone chooses and plays one of the Agile roles - Business Analyst (BA), Developer, Quality Analyst (QA) and UI/UX.
