The foundation was started to address the lack of coding and relevant technical skills in Kenya's high school curriculum, particularly in rural areas. The goal is to prepare students for college and industry by teaching them coding skills such as mobile application development, website building, and user experience design, among other topics.

TechSpark Foundation currently collaborates with six to seven rural high schools across three counties in Kenya: Machakos, Nyandarwa, and Taita.

Rural schools often lack access to facilities, exposure, and opportunities that urban schools have. By focusing on these schools, TechSpark ensures that students in underserved areas are empowered with technical skills and knowledge.

Since its launch in June 2024, the foundation has trained 300–400 students in coding and technology skills, covered topics such as Android programming in Kotlin and user experience design, hosted career talks and workshops with professionals from Safaricom, Microsoft, Google, and other companies, and conducted hands-on coding sessions despite limited resources like shared computers.

The primary challenges include lack of sufficient facilities, such as computers, and multiple students sharing a single computer during sessions. Limited resources to expand the program to more counties and schools are also significant hurdles.

The foundation plans to expand to more schools and counties in Kenya by January 2025, eventually scale the program to the rest of Africa, train more students, and enhance access to technology education.
