Our Story

Skymirror Academy began in 2019 when a group of industry veterans became frustrated with the gap between traditional education and what the tech industry actually needed. They saw new graduates struggling to apply theoretical knowledge to practical challenges.

Our founders—a mix of experienced developers, designers, and entrepreneurs—came together to create a different kind of tech education: one that emphasizes real-world projects, practical skills, and meaningful connections to industry.

Our Global Field Labs emerged from our belief that immersive, context-driven experiences accelerate learning and create lasting impact. By placing students in real-world problem-solving environments across four continents—from Northern Nigeria to Istanbul, São Paulo to Budapest—we provide educational experiences that move beyond classroom theory to lived practice.

Today, Skymirror Academy has helped hundreds of students transform their careers, with many going on to work at leading tech companies or starting their own ventures. We remain committed to our original mission: making tech education practical, immersive, and connected to real-world opportunities.
