Joined @AltSchoolAfrica last year April. After some months of learning & reflecting, I've built crazy apps & won a hackathon. Discover & built my teaching skills, learnt how to be a team player and mentored lots of my fellow AltSchool students, made 6 figure from coding.

I joined @AltSchoolAfrica to deepen my knowledge of product management, and I don't regret it. The difference between what I knew before and what I know now is one word: structure.

Joining AltSchool Africa has made me look at products differently, and now I wonder what really happened? Why do people stop using a product? Can it make a comeback? Thank you AltSchool.

What started as curiosity evolved into a deep dive to understand the dynamic nature of product @AltSchoolAfrica gave me the pathway. Today, I am both a teacher and a product manager.

My Aunty's 17 year old daughter is starting Alt School. My aunt was worried about her not starting with conventional tertiary institution first. So I asked @AdewaleYusuf_ kindly to speak to my aunt and he did. She's so happy and excited about the journey...
