Sterling Bank Plc in partnership with Audax Solutions Limited, an education technology solutions company, will be flagging- off a Computer Science Education (CSE) programme called Audax Code School.
The code school programme is aimed at bridging the digital skills gap in Nigeria, empower children and teachers in both rural and urban areas, foster creativity and creative thinking skills through information and communications technology learning and encourage careers of underprivileged youth through Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education.
The training programme which is aimed at also deepening awareness of Computer Science Education among children and youth will cover Summer Code School, Africa Code Week, Computer Science Education Week, Hour of Code Week, and Train the Trainer Sessions.
Sterling Bank in a statement released at the weekend commended Audax Solutions for initiating the programme, saying that participants who took part in previous programme raised “our hope that we still have in Nigeria, a crop of children with potentials to be among the best in the world in the area of computer education, if given the right exposure and encouragement” and this informed the reason for the support of the 2016 edition.
