Here’s the story behind it, what each course is about, and how to register.
The story behind LearnFactory Foundations
While a lot of people were in awe of how Shalom Rayhamen (the Nigerian developer who created 'Lagos Life') pulled in over 2 million users within 8 days of launching her game, the founder and CEO of LearnFactory, Chibueze Ukaegbu, was overjoyed. He took to his platform to share that Shalom was one of the beneficiaries of a free tech program LearnFactory hosted back in 2018.
According to him, people wondered how LearnFactory would survive giving away opportunities with no fee attached. He did it anyway, because he believed in making an impact, and that is still the mission LearnFactory runs on.
On October 11, 2026, inspired by Shalom’s story and in celebration of his upcoming 45th birthday, he launched a new movement: LearnFactory Foundations.
What is LearnFactory Foundations?
It’s a free tech training program with 200 spots, designed to give young people the skills and confidence to take their first step into tech. It runs from November 2 to December 19, 2026, and you choose one course out of eight.
The world keeps moving toward tech, and the young people who start learning now will be the ones building what comes next.
The 8 courses: which one will you pick?
Seats are limited per course, so it helps to decide before you register. Here’s what each one is about, in plain terms.
Frontend Web Development (30 seats)
This is the part of a website or app you see and touch: the layout, buttons, menus, and how things move when you click. If you like watching your work come alive on screen, this is a good place to start.
Python for Backend (30 seats)
Backend is the engine behind an app: where data is stored, accounts are handled, and things happen when you tap a button. Python is a beginner-friendly language for it, and it suits people who enjoy logic and puzzles.
AI & Prompt Engineering (30 seats)
Learn to work with AI tools properly: how to ask the right questions, get useful results, and use AI in real work. It’s a good pick if you’re curious about AI and want a skill that applies in almost any career.

Characters, motion graphics, explainer videos, and illustrated visuals. This one is for creative people who like drawing, storytelling, or making things move.
3D Animation (20 seats)
Modeling and animating in three dimensions, the skills behind games, films, and product visuals. A good fit if you’re drawn to games or film and don’t mind a steep learning curve.
Cybersecurity (20 seats)
Protecting systems, apps, and data from attacks, and understanding how those attacks work. It suits people who are curious, careful, and enjoy figuring out how things can break.
UI/UX Design (20 seats)
UI is how a product looks, and UX is how it feels to use. You’ll learn to understand users, map out flows, and design screens people can navigate easily. It’s for people who care about design and about making things simpler for others.
CAD/CAM (20 seats)
Designing parts and products on a computer, then preparing them to be made by machines. It’s used in engineering, architecture, and product design, and it suits people who like technical drawing and building real things.

Mmemme and LearnFactory: a story that comes full circle
Just like Shalom, Mmemme is an idea developed and built by beneficiaries of LearnFactory. Mmemme is an event discovery platform for Abia State, and it’s live today because an opportunity just like LearnFactory Foundations was presented, with support from the Abia State Government through the TechRise programme.
That’s why this program lives on Mmemme. It’s exactly the kind of opportunity the platform was built to help people find. It also shows what Mmemme does for organizers. If you run events of your own, you can become an organizer on Mmemme.
