The NaijaCoder summer camp is a free summer coding program aimed at high schoolers in Nigeria. NaijaCoder provides free instructions on algorithms and computer programming.
The majority of Nigerian high schoolers have little to no exposure to the basics of algorithms and programming. NaijaCoder believes this trajectory should change as programming offers these students, especially those from indigent backgrounds, an opportunity to learn profitable skills and ignite their passions for problem-solving and critical thinking. The next NaijaCoder summer camp will take place in August 2024.
