In May 2025, Ilorin Grammar School hosted a vibrant celebration of International Girls in ICT Day, organized by W.TEC Academy Kwara. The event brought together over 200 girls from our partner schools to celebrate the power of technology and the role of girls in shaping the digital future.
Our guest speaker, Ms. Mariam Hassan, Project Manager at KidsTech Africa, spoke on this year’s theme, “Girls in ICT for Inclusive Digital Transformation.” Her session was engaging and insightful, encouraging the girls to embrace opportunities in tech and see themselves as active contributors to the digital world.
The students also participated in a Tech Role Model Exhibit featuring stories of five influential African women in ICT. It was inspiring to see the girls connect with these role models and reflect on their own potential.
They didn’t just listen,they showed up with confidence, sharing projects and ideas that reflected the skills they’ve been building through W.TEC Academy.
It was a day of learning, inspiration, and renewed belief in what’s possible. The energy in the room made one thing clear: the future of tech is bright, and girls in Kwara are ready to lead it.
