Meet the founder

Abiodun Salami

Founder & Lead Instructor · Winnipeg, Manitoba

Abiodun Salami is the founder and lead instructor of Manitoba Learn, a project-based AI academy built in Winnipeg for the next generation of Canadian creators. With a career spanning technology, cybersecurity and education, Abiodun has spent years helping organizations use powerful tools responsibly — and now brings that same rigor to teenagers learning to build with AI.

He started Manitoba Learn out of a simple conviction: teenagers shouldn't just scroll through technology, they should create with it. In every cohort, Abiodun guides students to ship real things — websites, apps, and AI automations — while learning the ethics, safety and craft behind them.

His vision is a generation of young Manitobans who are confident, ethical, future-ready builders. His promise to families is a small, supportive classroom where every student is seen, challenged, and proud of what they leave with.
