Codespark Nigeria

Mission: provide computer science education and exposure to 1 million Nigerian youths by 2020. CodeSpark believes in closing the knowledge gap in technology. To achieve this, we have to inspire young Nigerians to pursue computer science by exposing them to real-life and on-screen role models. We engage engineers, developers, executives, and entrepreneurs to teach and motivate the next generation. We would engage guest speakers, mentors, and instructors who are leaders in their fields, working in positions our teens aspire to attain. Our unique pairing of high-quality instruction in basic programming fundamentals (using fun and interactive tools), web development and design, mobile development, and robotics with exposure to real-world technology companies is unmatched by any other program. CodeSpark programs will provide unparalleled computer science education to youths nationwide — giving them the hard and soft skills needed to become the technologists of tomorrow. We don’t just offer exposure to technology, we train tomorrow’s engineers. Our vision is to teach computing to the Nigerian youths, sparking the creativity within them. We believe this is paramount to ensure the economic prosperity of Nigeria and to equip citizens with the 21st-century tools for innovation and social change. We believe that more youths exposed to computer science at a young age will lead to more women and men working in the technology and engineering fields in the nearest future. We plan to take over major states of Nigeria, sparking the creativity within them.
