Explore the TechPlaybook Experience
Where engineering education comes to life through hands-on learning and real-world exposure.
View our programs →The Problem
We Are Solving
Engineering education in many African universities is heavily theoretical. Yet most students are not prepared for the real world.
TechPlaybook exists to bridge that gap.
60% Academics
40% Skills
Limited Exposure
Students graduate with strong grades but limited hands-on experience.
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 from Bayero University who experienced the skills gap firsthand.
As students, we launched the NUESA Elite Engineering Fellowship to introduce practical learning into the engineering ecosystem.
After graduation in 2024, we decided to formalize and scale this impact.
TechPlaybook is that next step.

"The impact was immediate. Students became more confident, more technical, and more aware of opportunities beyond grades."

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. And we will not allow our students to miss it either.
What We Do
Structured tracks designed for engineering and technology students.
