Who we are
A community, not a course.
TechKhwa started in Peshawar in early 2025 around one idea: students shouldn’t have to wait until graduation to meet the industry. Engineers, founders and trainers give their evenings to answer questions, run labs and review CVs, on campus in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and online for anyone, anywhere.
Mission
Connect education with the real world, so that learning leads to real work and real innovation.
Vision
Anyone who wants a career in tech can reach the people already doing it, wherever they study.
