Focused on innovation and empowerment, the Kwara Coding and Digital Literacy Programme – Holiday Edition is nurturing the next generation of tech leaders, problem-solvers, and creators.

Tailored for youths aged 12–15, the initiative offers hands-on learning in coding, digital literacy, innovative thinking, and problem-solving within an engaging environment. It expands on successes from the 2024/2025 academic term, blending education with creativity.

The future is digital—and it begins now.

Tailored for students and teenagers aged 12 to 15, the Holiday Edition builds on the successes of the 2024/2025 second academic term rollout. It offers a dynamic, hands-on learning experience that sparks curiosity and fosters creativity through coding, digital literacy, innovation thinking, and problem-solving—all in a fun and engaging environment.

This impactful initiative is proudly championed by the Kwara State Government under the visionary leadership of His Excellency, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
