Tech Education

At Shake Hands, our tech education is built on three pillars: reflection, design, and coding. We believe that digital skills gain real meaning when they are connected to imagination, social values, and community. That is why our learning programs combine conceptual thinking with hands-on practice—helping participants to not only learn how to code or design, but also to understand the wider impact of digital culture.

We guide both newcomers to the field—those who are taking their first steps in design or coding—and experienced professionals who are rebuilding their careers in the Netherlands. Our approach is inclusive and personal: every learner brings unique experiences, perspectives, and ambitions. We create an environment where these differences are seen as strengths.

Our ambition is to grow this guidance into an open tech school: a space where people can learn, experiment, and collaborate on real projects. Here, education is not a one-way street but a shared journey of discovery. By combining training, mentoring, and co-creation, we prepare designers and coders for meaningful roles in a digital culture that values diversity, creativity, and human connection..
