February 2025 at ReCreaX: From Building to Breaking Barriers
At ReCreaX, we’ve seen it time and time again, tech talents who stop waiting for permission and start getting hands-on experience by working on real-world projects. February was another proof of concept: careers were built, startups got funding, new projects launched, and talents positioned themselves for global job opportunities.
If January was about setting the stage, February was about making real moves. Let’s break it all down.
New Projects, More Opportunities
This month, two major projects kicked off. Both built to solve real problems while giving tech talents the kind of experience that gets them hired.
Project Emerging Leaders
Project Emerging Leaders is a mission-driven initiative designed to help individuals in the UK gain financial literacy and personal growth. And unlike hypothetical case studies, this is a real product that will be used by real people.
For the talents working on it, the challenge was clear:
These aren’t just technical problems but product design, user experience, and problem-solving challenges that make developers, designers, and product managers stand out in the job market.
Applications for Project Emerging Leaders are still open, but not for long. If you want real-world experience, this is your shot.
Project myAreli: Tech Meets Healthcare
Imagine having instant access to your complete medical records—anytime, anywhere. That’s the vision behind Project myAreli, a platform designed to simplify medical record management in Nigeria and other African countries facing similar challenges.
Healthcare tech is one of the fastest-growing sectors, and this project puts talents in a position to build real solutions in an industry that needs innovation.
The team is already working on:
Global Careers, Real-World Growth & Breaking Barriers
February at ReCreaX wasn’t just about launching projects. It was about equipping tech talents with the insights, networks, and platforms to take their careers to the next level.
In this part of the recap, let's find out how talents got career-changing insights, real-world exposure, and more opportunities to break into tech globally.
Partnerships That Make a Difference
In a move to make learning more accessible, we've partnered with CredPal (YC W19) to provide credit facilities for tech talents. This means you can now access our project-based learning programs and pay back later! It's all part of our commitment to removing barriers between you and your tech career growth.
KSS: How to Land Global Tech Jobs
Everywhere you turn, there’s a new conversation about breaking into global tech roles—but no one tells you exactly how to do it.
That’s why this month’s Knowledge Sharing Session (KSS) brought in Jeremiah Ajayi, a tech professional who started from an entry-level position and scaled his career globally.
Here’s what he shared:
The biggest takeaway? Companies don’t just hire skills, they hire problem solvers.
If you want to work in tech internationally, your ability to communicate your problem-solving skills is what sets you apart.
For those who missed it, we will be sharing key takeaways soon. But here’s the real question: Are you in the community where these conversations are happening? If not, it’s time to join the ReCreaX Community
The ReCreaX Podcast is Here!
In February, we officially launched Roads and Intermissions, our very own podcast featuring real stories from tech talents who have walked the path before you.
The first episode featured Samuel Omoraiyewa, a product designer who broke down how product design is a game of evolution and personal conviction. If you’re looking for insights on navigating career growth, skill-building, and adapting in the ever-changing tech landscape, this episode is a must-listen.

Want to Build a Startup? Here’s How to Get Funded
If you’ve ever thought, “I have a great startup idea, but I don’t have the funds to make it happen,” you’re not alone.
But there’s opportunities for idea stage founders out there. And in February, we made sure our community knew exactly where to find it.
We compiled a directory of organizations, programs, and fellowships that offer $50K to $1M in funding for idea-stage startups. Whether you’re working on an MVP, validation, or scaling an early-stage idea, there are options.
Project Demos Coming Soon
Project Weave and Project Waddle are heading toward completion, and Demo Day is just around the corner.
For the talents involved, this is the moment where weeks of building, standups, retrospectives, and problem-solving pay off. The best part? These demos aren’t just about showcasing work—they’re proof that hands-on experience beats any bootcamp certificate.
Stay tuned for more details on the demo event. This is something you won’t want to miss.
Looking Ahead: What’s Coming in March?
February was about momentum, but March is about scaling up.
Here’s what’s coming:
If you’re still waiting to take action, March is your sign to step up. The opportunities are here, you just have to grab them. Start by signing up at ReCreaX and join over 700 communities of tech talents building their career through a project-based learning program.
