Every participant will be able to run and maintain a full Minima blockchain node directly on their smartphones.
The partnership reflects the shared commitment of both organizations to advance digital education across Africa, providing high-quality resources that equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in the global digital economy. The course, developed and delivered by Minima, will empower African students with vital knowledge in blockchain technology.

The ambition is clear: expand SchoolTry’s reach to 2 million Nigerian students, within a population of 230 million, fostering a new generation of blockchain-literate talent.
“We believe that access to cutting-edge education is key to unlocking Africa’s vast potential,” said Ismail Eleburuike, CEO of SchoolTry. “This partnership with Minima not only enriches our platform but also offers our students a unique opportunity to master blockchain — a technology that’s shaping the future. Together, we aim to drive digital transformation and create pathways for young Africans to excel in the global tech space.”
The course will cover fundamental blockchain concepts, its real-world applications, and practical skills, ensuring students are well-equipped for future opportunities in tech-driven sectors. By integrating this course into SchoolTry’s ecosystem, students can seamlessly access it alongside their regular studies, fostering a holistic approach to digital education.
“Blockchain technology holds immense potential to revolutionize industries, and education is at the forefront of this change,” said Hugo Feiler, CEO of Minima. “Our partnership with SchoolTry is about more than just delivering a course — it’s about empowering young minds with the tools to innovate, create, and shape their futures. Nigeria is bursting with talent, and we are excited to contribute to building opportunities and driving real impact..”
This partnership reflects both companies' shared vision of democratizing education and ensuring that African students are not left behind in the rapidly evolving digital economy.
The blockchain course, exclusive to the SchoolTry platform, will launch at the end of March 2025.
