Unlocking the Future of Technology in Togo
In a small town in Togo, a group of 14-year-old children are learning to code, build robots, and develop their critical thinking skills. The Lomè Digital School’s Summer Camp is giving them the tools they need to become the next generation of tech innovators.
Meet Winner Koudjra, a coding whiz
Winner, 14, has already built her own robot and is learning the basics of artificial intelligence. She says she hopes to create her own website one day.
Aiming for parity in technology
The school’s program aims to reduce the gender gap in tech by providing equal opportunities for boys and girls. According to UNESCO, women make up only 35% of STEM graduates worldwide.
Empowering young minds
Got’liebe Bataba, director of Lomè Digital School, says the program is not just about teaching technology, but also developing critical thinking skills. Parents like Vanessa Lawson see this as a great opportunity for their children.
