  • Grow Ghana Coding Program

    The GG coding program was introduced this year 2022, to engage young students of age 8 to 15 years old in computer programming. In the 21st century, learning coding has become a fundamental requirement, and starting off at an early age is an advantage.

Yes, I would recommend it to others, because you have the freedom to say what you want […] and it helps you with IT-skills.

Basic IT Education is a MUST for future JOBS!

The students of today are the employees, entrepreneurs and leaders of tomorrow. But how do you expect them to create value if basic skills are never taught?

Meet Elizabeth, 16 years, Junior High School. She never touched a computer before and never used the internet. She is used to repeat what the teacher says – and gets good grades for that. But she has never learned how to express her own thoughts, work in a team or think critically. She struggles to organize herself if exposed to a new task. Her self confidence is low, as her voice is not heard.

Exposed to a youth coding project (Scratch), Elizabeth could explore a digital world and build her own projects in a playful way. She can feel how a succesful teamwork leads to results, she can be creative. At the same time, she will only be successful if she thinks critically and follows the logic of the code.

This empowers her to develop & grow herself, get exposed and get pre-qualified for a formal job in the future. Maybe she even becomes a digital native and leader? We believe that playful IT trainings with a focus on coding are the ideal tool to unlock & grow vital skills of young students.
