Why you should work with LTLab

LTLab is not a school and we don’t run classes. We are a project and internship lab where you work on real data problems with real teams. If you want structured courses, join LuxDevHQ. If you want hands-on experience, you belong here.

Real work, not lectures

You won’t sit through slides. You’ll ship dashboards, pipelines and notebooks that could live inside an actual product team.

✔ Weekly project sprints
✔ Code and notebook reviews
✔ Exposure to production-like workflows

Embedded in real teams

Work alongside mentors and partners who use data every day in startups, NGOs, and established companies across Africa.

✔ Pairing with practicing data pros
✔ Feedback on how you work, not just what you know
✔ References that speak to real projects

Clear split: learn vs. do

LuxDevHQ focuses on teaching you the foundations. LTLab focuses on helping you practice, make mistakes, and grow.
