About us

"What we bring to Mauritius is our own experiences from teaching students at Stanford, and we hope share our experiences and knowledge with as many people as possible, for free." - Jason

Jason and Eunji are Stanford University graduates who are passionate about introducing quality computer science education in an enjoyable and accessible manner around the world! We founded Code For Mauritius, a non-profit initiative, because we want to provide high quality resources to learn computer science for free in Mauritius.

If you want to reach out to us about partnerships / sponsorships or if you have any questions, please send us an email at codeformauritius@gmail.com! We're also happy to help you out with your own computer science related initiatives (e.g. school clubs, non-profits) in Mauritius! You just need to fill out this partnerships request form

I was born and grew up in Nairobi, Kenya. When I was twelve I moved to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where I lived until I came to Stanford for university, liked it a lot and stayed.
