The Problem
We Are Solving
Africa needs engineers who can build real solutions, but most engineering talent never gets hands-on experience of taking a project from idea to deployment.
We close that gap by building real projects and bringing engineers along to learn by doing.
Limited Exposure
Engineers graduate with strong grades but have rarely built and shipped a real system.
Shrinking Market
The traditional job market is shrinking across industries.
Rising Competition
Competition for available roles is increasing every year.
AI Disruption
Artificial intelligence is transforming industries at record speed.
Our Origin
Story
TechPlaybook was founded by a team of engineering graduates, mostly from Bayero University Kano, who experienced the skills gap firsthand.
As students, we launched the NUESA Elite Engineering Fellowship to bring practical learning into the engineering ecosystem.
After graduating in 2024, we set out to formalise and scale that impact, and brought in engineers and industry experts from beyond our founding circle.
Today we work as a professional engineering team, building IoT, embedded and AI solutions, and every project we deliver shapes how we train engineers.
TechPlaybook is that next step.
What we build with and teach
ArduinoMATLABPythonEmbedded SystemsReal-world Projects
"The impact was immediate. Engineers became more confident, more technical, and more aware of opportunities beyond grades."
— Founding Team
Why Now
Matters
In the early days of the internet, companies like Google and Amazon were built by people who understood the shift early. Many ignored that wave.
Today, we are in the artificial intelligence revolution. Organizations such as OpenAI and Anthropic are redefining how software is built. AI tools have reduced the barrier to building products.
Then
Internet Era
Google, Amazon — built by those who saw it early.
Now
AI Revolution
OpenAI, Anthropic — redefining how the world builds.
This is Africa's moment.
We will not miss it. We're building for it, and training the engineers who will lead it.
Our Kits
The same hardware we build with, packaged so engineers can learn by building.
ESP32 IoT / Embedded Systems Learning Kit
Complete hands-on starter pack — from “I’m new” to building real projects over the internet. ESP32 kit + 22+ components, tutorials, mentoring & more.
