In Cameroon, there is a growing movement among parents who want their children to engage with technology. More kids are being enrolled in coding and robotics programs to ensure they gain vital skills for the future. This movement reflects a change in how society views digital literacy; it is no longer seen as a luxury, but a necessity for success in life.
These training programs encourage children to think creatively and solve problems. For example, kids have developed an interactive game that assists users in making healthy meal choices. This project was showcased during "Demo Days," where children present their work to parents and judges, further enhancing their confidence and experience.
The emphasis on technology education has sparked interest and enthusiasm among students, setting them on a path toward innovative thinking. As they learn to code, program robots, and design useful tools, they realize the important role technology plays in their lives and communities.
