✨ Timbuktu & Youtakes your K-8 scholar on a medieval history adventure through thegolden age of African scholarship.

Imagine your child knowing—reallyknowing—that their people have always been builders of thefuture.

⁣The training is over. The real mission begins. 🕵🏾‍


We intercepted enemy intel—a letter to an Agent on the Motherland with a plan to keep Pan-Africanism stuck in the past. This semester, our scholars build the counter-strategy.


We have 72 hours.
72 hours until our counter-operation begins.
72 hours to enroll your scholar in Afrika's Army 2.
72 hours before the first class decrypts this letter and builds the strategy to break it.


This isn’t a game. It’s training for the future they’re trying to prevent.
Your scholar doesn’t need to just read history—they need to learn how to change it.


3 DAYS LEFT.
The mission is waiting.
The cohort is forming.
