They are now prepared to engage confidently with digital platforms and contribute meaningfully to a tech-driven world.”

By focusing on digital skills, the programme ensures that participants gain confidence, exposure, and practical tools to navigate academic, professional, and entrepreneurial opportunities in a rapidly evolving digital economy.
One of the participants, 17-year-old Funke, shared her excitement: “Before this programme, I could barely use a computer. Now I feel confident, and I even know how to create presentations and communicate my ideas effectively. I am inspired to pursue a career in technology.”
The completion of the programme marks a significant milestone for the students, equipping them with essential skills that will enhance their learning experience, boost employability, and open doors to future STEM opportunities.
