Organization information

Women's Technology Empowerment Centre (W.TEC)

Summary

The W.TEC Academy is an after-school programme designed to inspire girls in public secondary schools to pursue computer science careers. The girls go through a year-long computing curriculum, which includes Computer Architecture & Networking, Alice Programming and Digital Arts. With clubs in Lagos and Kwara states of Nigeria, we expanded to Obalaju High School, Joga and Yewa College, Ilaro, both in Ogun State. In 2022, we will broaden the curriculum and expand to more public schools.
