The Kwara Coding and Digital Literacy Programme has successfully concluded its fifth week of the first term for the 2026/2027 session activities, with participating schools and learning centres intensifying project development, presentation practices, and preparations for the forthcoming Kwara Coding and Digital Literacy Exhibition.
Throughout the week, students remained actively engaged in refining the technology-driven projects developed during their training. With guidance from instructors, participants continued to improve their projects, practise their presentations, and ensure that their solutions demonstrate the practical application of the digital skills acquired during the programme.
Across participating centres, students engaged in various project preparation activities, with some progressing to project presentations while others concentrated on rehearsals and improving the functionality of their work. These activities provided learners with opportunities to demonstrate their creativity, technical understanding, and ability to translate classroom lessons into practical solutions.
As part of the exhibition preparations, students participated in project presentation sessions, showcasing their work and demonstrating their understanding of the ideas behind their projects. The exercises also encouraged learners to explain how their projects were developed, the technologies involved, and the real-world problems they are designed to address.
The continued project development activities reflected the dedication of both students and instructors towards ensuring successful exhibition outcomes. Instructors provided technical guidance, supervised practical sessions, and supported students in identifying areas requiring improvement. This hands-on approach has helped learners strengthen their problem-solving abilities, teamwork, creativity, and confidence in presenting their innovations.
Monitoring activities also continued during the week, with the Women’s Technology Empowerment Centre (W.TEC) team engaging instructors and students through monitoring calls to assess their experiences and the progress of the programme.
During these engagements, the W.TEC team interacted with instructors and learners from selected participating centres, providing an opportunity to hear firsthand accounts of classroom activities, project development, and students’ learning experiences. The conversations offered valuable insights into the progress being recorded and the level of participation across the programme.
These monitoring engagements further demonstrate the importance of continuous supervision, feedback, and collaboration in ensuring effective programme implementation and quality digital education.
Beyond the technical knowledge gained, the ongoing project development and presentation exercises are helping students build essential skills in communication, critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and innovation. Students who began the programme as beginners are increasingly demonstrating the ability to develop digital projects, explain their ideas, and present practical solutions with growing confidence.
The fifth week therefore represents an important stage in the programme, as participants move beyond learning digital concepts to demonstrating what they can create with the knowledge acquired. For many students, the experience reinforces the understanding that technology is not simply something to use but a tool they can learn to build, improve, and apply to solve problems in their communities.
This progress reflects the vision of His Excellency, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, CON, to empower young people across Kwara State with relevant digital competencies and prepare them for opportunities in an increasingly technology-driven world.
As preparations for the exhibition continue, the programme remains committed to nurturing young innovators, promoting practical digital education, and creating opportunities for students to showcase their creativity and technical abilities.
The forthcoming exhibition will provide a platform for celebrating students’ achievements and demonstrating the impact of sustained investment in coding, digital literacy, and technology education across Kwara State.
