🌟KENYA: Unlocking the Future with Code Clubs in Schools! 🌟 In today’s digital age, coding isn't just a skill – it's a superpower! 💻✨ Schools that offer code clubs provide students with numerous benefits that extend far beyond the screen. Some of these benefits include: 1. #Enhancing #Problem-#solving #Skills 🧠: Coding teaches students how to break down complex problems into manageable parts and find logical solutions. 2. #Future-#Proofing #Careers 🚀: With technology permeating every industry, coding skills are becoming increasingly valuable. Code clubs prepare students for a wide range of future careers. 3. #Fun and #Engaging 🎉: Most importantly, code clubs make learning fun! Students enjoy the process of creating and discovering, which fosters a love for learning. We are thrilled to announce that STEAMLabs Africa is partnering with the Raspberry Pi Foundation to bring these benefits to 4,500 students and 300 educators in Kenya! Together, we will establish code clubs in 150 schools across the country. Through this partnership, we aim to equip educators with the knowledge and skills to set up and run sustainable code clubs, transforming the lives of students and empowering the next generation of innovators. Stay tuned for more details on how your school can participate in these exciting activities. Don't be left behind! #CodeClubs #Education #Innovation #RaspberryPi #STEAMLabsAfrica Felix Malombe | Afandi I. | Wariara Waireri | Rujeko Moyo | Rachel Bennett

Cambodia's transition to a digital society puts digital skills at the forefront of development and economic activity. Swisscontact in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport, and the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training is equipping young people in Cambodia with essential digital skills to interact within the digital ecosystem. Launched in January 2024, the Digital Literacy Initiative funded by The Dariu Foundation aims to qualify youth for inclusion in the digital economy by providing access to technology and digital literacy education. Since then, the project has established a framework for collaboration with key actors in the education sector. A partnership with Tech for Kids Academy will enable this leading provider of technology education in Cambodia to strengthen its product offering by tailoring and delivering training to public schools. Teachers are being trained in basic programming languages and over 500 students are currently learning to code.

++ Orange Jordan and Proparco Partner for Enhanced Digital Skills Training ++ The Coding Academies by Orange Jordan represent an important educational space that are aimed at enhancing young women and men’s programming skills being one of the most pivotal required pillars of the accelerating digital world. Accordingly, the company signed a Euro 1-million strategic partnership agreement with Proparco, the private sector financing arm of Agence Française de Développement Group (AFD Group), to support Orange Jordan’s Coding Academies and help execute the digital inclusion vision. "We see in this partnership a lot of benefits for youth in Jordan. The testimonies during the ceremony at the Digital Village were enlightening! As a French development financial institution, Proparco is committed to reducing inequalities. Vocational training and innovation programs such as the ones proposed at the Orange Digital Center are key to ensuring access to employment for youth. By creating these opportunities, Orange is strengthening the Jordan digital sector, helping it play a leading role in the region." - Sebastien Fleury, Regional Director Middle East, Proparco #techafricanews #middleeast #jordan #digital #skills #digital #sector #innovation #growth #training

Computer education is the engine for digital transformation. In many schools across Africa, computer science teachers often start teaching without having foundational skills in the subject. Many learn on the job, while others are unsure where to begin. Sadly, underserved communities remain completely deprived of computer science education, leaving young people unaware of coding or lacking a computing mindset. In some areas, algorithms and computers are still viewed as "juju"—a mystery, rather than a tool for empowerment. This mindset must change, and together, we can make that happen. We are working to promote inclusive and equitable computer science education across Africa, ensuring every child has access to the right teachers and understands that programming is not magic, but a skill everyone can learn. Our mission is to create opportunities where African youth can thrive and become part of the global digital economy. Join us NETKINGS in driving this transformation. Together, we can ensure that no child is left behind, and that Africa becomes a hub of innovation and talent. #ComputerScienceEducation #DigitalTransformation #InclusiveEducation #Africa #FutureOfLearning #CodingForKids #Netkings #ACMAfrica #CSTA #TechForGood #STEM #google #mircosoft #3mtt SMEDAN

At Algorithmics School of Programming for Kids aged 7-18, we’ve seen the transformative power of digital skills for South Africa’s youth. Our Algorithmics Mission 1000 Programme is a bold step towards bridging the digital divide, aiming to equip 1,000 children with ey to ssential digital and programming skills in 2024. In an era where technology shapes our future, ensuring every child has access to digital education is crucial. This initiative is more than coding; it’s about nurturing problem-solvers, creative thinkers, and team players prepared for tomorrow’s challenges. Business involvement is key. A digitally literate generation not only enriches our workforce but drives sustainable economic growth. Through partnerships and support, businesses have a unique opportunity to contribute to a more inclusive digital landscape in South Africa. Join us in making digital literacy universal for as many South African kids as possible. Together, we can unlock a world of opportunities for our children and pave the way for a brighter, tech-driven future. Check out the Prospectus for Algorithmics 1000 and help us drive real change! #AlgorithmicsMission1000 #DigitalLiteracy #SouthAfrica

When we first piloted the idea for a free computer coding program in Zambia in late 2023, we sought to answer a few crucial questions: 1. Could we teach coding without reliable internet and electricity? 2. Could we teach coding to those who had never used a computer before? 3. Would the students enjoy it? 4. Would the schools and parents support us? readmore here https://lnkd.in/ea6ZhFtj

In 2022, the government of Kenya approved a new curriculum for secondary and primary school students that would teach coding. This made Kenya the first African country to mainstream coding in the basic education curriculum. While the piloting is still ongoing, there is no doubt that the coding train has taken off. However, while the Government has taken care of learners in the basic education space, the in-school and out-of-school youths (especially those in technical institutions, or dropped out of school) stand to miss this great opportunity. It is on this premise that Code Yangu Mashinani is based. Anchored on SDG 8: Decent Work & Economic Growth, CodeYangu Mashinani is an out-of-town, county-focused, and skill-based program by Zoezi Education Solutions, meant to equip youths (in-school & out-of-school) with coding, business, and personal development skills key to create livelihoods, and participate in building the nation through gigs and running startups and other businesses.
