We started DaVinxi Cabin in Nairobi to replace passive screen consumption with real projects, strategic thinking, and mentor-led creation.
In late 2019, 3 siblings in Kilimani were homeschooled on a Thursday evening experiment pairing chess tactics with Mental math. The energy was infectious â kids didn't want to leave when the 2-hour session ended.
3 students, 1 laptop, and a physical chess board. Practicing math principles and chess tactics.
20 strong invited Chess players entered DaVinxi Cabin's first rated chess tournament hosted at YWCA, Mamlaka Rd, taking home 3 podium finishes.
Live game development, tournament chess coaching, and hands-on workshops with a 4:1 student ratio.
We don't measure success by certificates earned. We measure it by whether a student can explain their own innovations and troubleshoot bugs when builds break.
â DaVinxi Mentorship Principle
Chess develops strategic reasoning.
Coding turns ideas into working systems.
AI expands what learners can experiment with.
Financial intelligence teaches learners to make smarter choices.
We don't just teach children skills. We teach them how to think, build, create and decide.
DAVINXI CABIN was founded in Kenya in 2020 with a simple belief: we should inspire children to create, not just consume. We imagined a place where curiosity is celebrated, creativity is encouraged, and every learner is given the confidence to build something meaningful.
We are not a cold, automated online school. We are a warm, supportive tech club and STEM academy where young minds aged 6 to 18 turn their natural curiosity into creative skills. Whether your child is writing their first Python script, solving puzzles on the chessboard, or building circuits, they do it with caring human mentors guiding the way.
From our interactive coding circles uniting kids across the country, to our friendly online clubs, we blend real technical learning with genuine mentorship. No corporate buzzwords. No boring video lectures. Just curious students building real technology together.
Pay monthly via M-Pesa or card. No long lock-in contracts â pause or switch tracks whenever you need.
Ideal for complete beginners discovering coding, game design, and visual logic.
For young creators ready to transition from block logic to real Python, JavaScript & robotics.
For advanced students building full-stack apps, AI models, hardware rigs, and competition entries.
