We are glad to announce that we have trained 1,253 girls in our academy centres for the first half of the year. Through intensive hands-on training sessions, these girls have gained valuable skills and knowledge. We are proud of their dedication and achievements, and we look forward to seeing them thrive as they pursue their tech dreams. This wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our partners and the hard work of our instructors.
The W.TEC GIRLS ACADEMY is an after-school technology programme for girls in public and privatesecondary schools, designed to inspire girls to pursuecomputer science careers. With clubs in Lagos, Ondo and Kwara states, the girls through go through a year-long computing curriculum, which includes modules such as Computer Architecture, Scratch Programming and Alice Programming.
Through their participation in the technology clubs, the girls become more confident in writing programmes, developing applications and creating digital content. This programme was designed to complement the existing computer science curriculum in the schools,which tends to focus more on theoretical knowledgethan practical experience.
