Olaseni Cole is the founder of Steminai, an AI-enabled gamified learning platform designed to teach children and young adults essential 21st-century skills in STEM, Coding, Robotics, and Artificial Intelligence; in multiple global languages. His mission is clear: to raise a generation of young innovators, inventors, and problem-solvers who are equipped to shape the future.
Olaseni began his tech education journey in Ibadan, Nigeria, as an ICT instructor, where he discovered many students had never seen a computer. Moved to change that, he brought his personal laptop to class daily, sparking hands-on learning. This passion led to the creation of Young Empowered Programmers (YEP!), an EdTech that has introduced over 20,000 African children aged 5–16 to computer programming through school and community partnerships.
Building on years of experience working closely with students, parents, educators, and policymakers, Olaseni is now scaling his impact globally through Steminai. The platform blends interactive storytelling, gamification, and AI to create personalized learning journeys in STEM, coding, robotics, and AI that spark curiosity and build core analytical and problem-solving skills. Designed to be culturally inclusive and accessible across borders, Steminai empowers youth to learn in multiple languages while connecting with global challenges and technologies.
With Steminai, Olaseni is not just teaching STEM, he’s inspiring a global movement of digital inventors who will build the future.
