Created by the young Mozambican Tony Valeta and by the entrepreneur and designer Guidione Machava, it has the background of innovating and influencing new trends in the relationship with technology and innovation.
"I thought that the curriculum taught in schools was outdated, because they did not teach practical content that could help to face everyday life”, said Guidione Machava to the magazine Maputo Fast Forward.
Among the tools in its curriculum plan are Webflow and Figma, which also includes help in building a portfolio and positioning itself to obtain a job.
For the creators of Baoba Hub, it offers the opportunity to start a new phase of Design in Mozambique, where more than theory, students will have more practicality and mastery of the market for creating websites and applications as an option.
"TheStudents will learn what it's like to be a professional, work collaboratively, master international tools”, stressed Tony Valeta.
