" summary

PYNAM (Python Namibia) runs school outreach that confronts phased‑out computer studies, unqualified teachers and broken labs with hands‑on projects, weekend university labs and a student programming team that wins contests. Eight Raspberry Pi get deployed for classroom and after‑school use, learners with little prior experience train for a national contest and earn a silver medal out of seven schools, students prototype ideas like an automatic pet feeder, and a planned fundraising “computer day” aims to buy a stable practice space.
