2pi Learning, a Moroccan EdTech startup, is transforming the way children in developing countries learn STEM subjects. Founded by former teachers, the startup is on a mission to make math and science education fun, accessible, and effective for children aged 8–11. By combining interactive videos, quizzes, and games with proven teaching methods like Singapore Math, 2pi Learning is turning classrooms into exciting learning adventures.
But what sparked the idea for this startup?
The idea was inspired by the founders’ experiences as teachers in a system that struggles to deliver results. Watching students lose interest in learning pushed the team to find a better way to engage and inspire young minds.
2pi Learning is driving measurable social impact by making STEM education engaging and effective. “Through gamified lessons and animated content, we help children develop strong foundational skills while staying motivated,” shares Nabil.
The startup tracks its success through student progress, retention rates and feedback from both parents and teachers, ensuring their solution delivers tangible results.
By transforming how children learn math, 2pi Learning is equipping the next generation with the skills they need to thrive in the future job market.
But despite being driven by the best intentions and ambitions, being an entrepreneur in Morocco means tackling a dynamic yet challenging environment.
“We’ve been on this journey for two years, but the early stages were tough. The local ecosystem is still in its infancy, which makes it difficult to get funding,” explains Nabil Makboul, co-founder of 2pi Learning. “Things began to shift when we joined programs like Impact Beyond Borders, where we found valuable mentorship and guidance.”
As Moroccan founders, the team believes their country offers unique advantages for startups aiming to scale across Africa and beyond. “Morocco’s cultural diversity, its strategic position as a gateway to Africa, and its strong regional relationships provide a unique opportunity to scale solutions tailored for African and global markets,” Nabil states. “The competitive advantage of Moroccan startups lies in their ability to understand complicated local and regional challenges, which proves to be a unique opportunity to scale solutions that resonate both locally and globally.”
After participating in the 4-day bootcamp in Casablanca, 2pi Learning emerged as one of the top three startups from the Impact Beyond Borders program, earning a prize trip to Italy to connect with international networks and explore new opportunities.
The Italy Roadshow represents more than just an international trip—it’s a bridge to connect Africa’s emerging educational solutions with the European innovation landscape. The team hopes to gain insights and resources to help refine their growth strategy and accelerate their journey into new markets:
“We’re excited to meet organizations who share our passion for impactful education. This trip is an opportunity to learn from the European innovation ecosystem, build strong partnerships and bring our solution to a wider audience,” Nabil explains.
Recognized as one of the top startups in the Impact Beyond Borders program, the team is ready to bring engaging STEM education to children everywhere. With plans to expand beyond math into other disciplines, 2pi Learning is shaping a brighter, more accessible future for education in Africa.
