Parents satisfied with the Ishango program
They trust us
Before Ishango, my son found math difficult and boring. Since participating in the workshops, he has become curious, asks a thousand questions, and enjoys solving small challenges at home. It’s incredible to see how much confidence he gains through learning through play.
Enrolling my daughter in the Ishango program was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. She loves the robotics workshops and is already talking about becoming an engineer. What I appreciate most is that she’s learning to work in a team and developing useful skills for the future.
