EAGLOPEN AlgoLab is an intensive, high-impact educational program designed to identify and train Ethiopia's most talented students in programming and algorithmic thinking. The program is built for students who demonstrate exceptional curiosity, discipline, and problem-solving ability.
Conducted within the Adama Science and Technology University (ASTU) environment, AlgoLab provides participants with university-level exposure, rigorous instruction, and mentorship from experienced lecturers and professionals.
Words can only say so much. Step inside the classroom and watch Ethiopia's most selective program come alive — the students, the mentors, and the moments where it clicks.

This is what AlgoLab students learn to master. Pick a sorting algorithm, press run, and watch it think — live.
Reading about gravity is one thing. Feeling it is another. Drop the EAGLOPEN emblem onto six worlds — then leave the surface entirely and survey the Solar System.
The Moon's gravity is just 0.17× Earth's. With no atmosphere to slow it down, the EAGLOPEN capsule falls in perfect silence.
A four-phase progression that takes students from strong foundations to advanced, globally competitive problem solving.
