We would rather be judged on year three than on handover day.
Anyone can put computers in a room. LabNation designs, supplies, installs and services the whole lab, then trains senior students to use it, so the investment turns into skills.
Every school we partner with gets the same standard of work, from the first site visit to the twelfth training session. Our team is based in Nigeria and builds every lab so the same playbook can run again in the next school, and the next country.
Our vision
Advanced technology education in every secondary school in Africa, and a generation inspired to build the technologies of tomorrow.
Our mission
Future-ready digital ecosystems for schools: real infrastructure, intelligent computing, AI and data science education, and technical support that lasts.
One partner for the lab, the training and the upkeep.
Schools pay for the lab hardware. The training that turns it into skills is part of the partnership, and we stay on to keep everything running.
Standard tech lab setup
We supply, deliver, install and configure quality desktop computers, and build them into a fully working lab, set to a defined standard.
Proper cabling
Power management
Software configuration
Planned workstation layout
Included for 12 months
Monthly data science training
Certified trainers visit once a month and teach senior students on the lab you now own. Data literacy, spreadsheets, Python, charts and real problems.
Annual contract
Lab maintenance and support
Hardware servicing, software updates, technical support and periodic trainer visits, so the lab is as good in year three as on day one.
Optional paid programmes
Advanced training and certification
For schools and students who want to go further: intensive bootcamps, digital literacy training for teachers, and nationally recognised certification with accredited institutions.

From first visit to handover, our field team does the whole install.
No hand-offs between suppliers and contractors. One team takes the lab from an empty room to a documented, working space.
What changes once
the lab is running.
A good lab pays back twice: in how the school is seen, and in what its students can do.
For your school
A fully equipped, durable lab at the cost of the hardware alone, with a partner who does not disappear after installation.
Attracts more students and families
Strengthens your standing in the community
A competitive edge over under-resourced rivals
A long-term partner invested in your growth
For your students
Free, hands-on training that builds real competence, not just familiarity, in an economy where digital fluency is no longer optional.
Practical data science skills, taught every month
Stronger university readiness
Better career prospects after graduation
A verified credential through advanced programmes
We ignite potential in every school. Six commitments we hold ourselves to.
Scale
Every system we build is designed to be reproduced exactly. What works in one school must work in a thousand.
What we doDesign replicable models, not one-off installations.
Starting in Nigeria. Built to repeat across Africa.
Everything we do has to work in a thousand schools, from Lagos to Nairobi. So we start with one country and get it right.

How many desktops does our school need to buy?
Schools that purchase 20 or more desktop units qualify for the full lab setup package. Use the lab size tool above to see how your student numbers line up.
Is the data science training really free?
Yes. Every partner school receives monthly data science sessions for senior students for 12 consecutive months at no extra charge. You pay for the lab hardware.
Who delivers the training, and where?
Certified LabNation trainers visit your school once a month and teach on-site, using the lab we installed. The curriculum is standardised and centred on the student.
What happens after the first 12 months?
You can subscribe to an annual maintenance contract covering hardware servicing, software updates, technical support and periodic trainer visits. Paid advanced programmes are also available.
What do we receive at handover?
A documented lab: installation photos, equipment serial numbers and a post-installation checklist. Your IT staff also receive handover training before we leave.
Which schools do you work with?
Our Phase 1 focus is private and mission secondary schools with 200 or more students in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan and Kano. State government schools can join through public-private partnership programmes, and international schools can upgrade their labs.
Do students earn a certificate?
Our advanced programmes include nationally recognised certification in partnership with accredited institutions.
