All around the world, kids are learning how to code, whether or not they have coding experience. In Nigeria, there are code learning programmes and activities designed for pre-teen and teenagers, but these are mostly organised by educational and training outfits.

So when we learned about a coding boot camp for kids being organised by Fidelity Bank, one of the leading financial institutions in Nigeria, we thought it was worth applauding and covering here on Techloy.

According to Fidelity Bank, the 5-day training programme is specially geared towards preparing children (kids between the ages of 10 and 17 years) for software development, software optimization and solution design; thus enabling kids with little or no coding experience understand coding concepts and immediately apply these skills to their academics and daily interactions.

The free coding workshop, which kicks off today, will cover various fields of software programming in two streams between April 3 — 7 and 9 — 13, on a first-come, first-served basis due to limited spaces.

We hope to bring you updates about the coding boot camp in the coming days.
