Hi there, my name is Sami A. Asaker. I decided to co-found and develop the Project Gnosis platform for reasons quite personal to me. Getting a M.Sc. degree in information system technology was no easy task. My program began with over 400 enthusiastic students, but by the time I graduated there were only 5 of us left. Most of the students who dropped out did so because of computer programming issues. I managed to grasp what I needed to make it through my studies, but realised later on the problem wasn’t about anyone’s ability to learn, it had to do with how we were expected to learn it. When I was in high school there were ‘zero opportunities’ available to study coding -even though everyone was already fully engaged with technology! Having done it the hard way, I am in a unique position to understand acquiring the foundation necessary for technical literacy must begin in kindergarten to achieve it by age 18. Coding is the foundation for technical literacy and a vital skill to have if we hope to build a sustainable future at all. I believe one good platform is all anyone needs to teach and learn, so I built it to spare kids from having to do it the hard way and hopefully save all our futures in the process.
Thanks for stopping by!
Cheers, Sami
