Welcome

CSA Africa is an international outreach under the School of Computing Science, University of Glasgow. Our vision is a continent where every young African has the opportunity and capability to harness the power of computing, and our mission is to empower young Africans with transformative computing skills, providing them with the knowledge, resources, and mentorship needed to thrive in the information age.

In recognition of the transformational change engineered by this initiative, Dr. Sofiat Olaosebikan (our Founder and Lead) was named as one of the Future World Changers at the University of Glasgow. Here is a short video of her talking about her vision for the initiative.
