      Remita Summer Coding Camp

      There is also the summer coding camp organised by Remita for children. It is free and scheduled to take place in Lagos and Abuja respectively. This camp wants to help children learn how to code games and applications as well as develop websites and give them a boost in their STEM training.

      Nigerian fintech company @SystemSpecsNig is organising a 2-week @RemitaNET Summer Coding Camp for secondary school students in Lagos and Abuja from August 12 – 23, 2019, to equip participants with digital skills and improve access to technology education in Nigeria. pic.twitter.com/FqnOSD1G0Q

      She Hacks Africa

      Another code camp still taking applications is the WAAW Foundation’s She Hacks Africa (SHA). The SHA is a code bootcamp that takes applications from both male and females interested in Front-End Web Development, Back-End Web Development, Leadership and Entrepreneurship. The program is free except for the commitment fee and can be applied for here.

      She Hacks Africa

      Codecamps happening in other states in Nigeria besides Lagos and Abuja include Aerocode Bootcamp by Tychzoe featuring training in web, graphics, programming and robotics. It is not free however and it can be applied for here.

      There are many more coding bootcamps offering summer programmes for different age ranges. What these ones we have brought to your attention all have in common is the desire to help youths improve their STEM skills and become more relevant in the tech industry.

      Good luck with your applications!
