Prince Steven Annor

Prince Steven Annor is a Engineering Instructor and Tech Researcher at New York University’s Abu Dhabi campus. He teaches engineering lab courses in programming, robotics, AI and machine learning.

He’s passionate about developing new ways of teaching young people in Africa and the Middle East how to acquire tech skills. When his laptop died just before he was supposed to teach a coding bootcamp, it took him one day to shift from a computer-oriented curriculum to one focused on smartphones which are more commonly-available in Africa. He developed a prototype which became SuaCode, “a smartphone-based online coding course that aims to teach millions across the African continent how to code”.
