The Kwara State Government has commenced the 2026 Summer Edition of the Kwara Coding and Digital Literacy Programme, reaffirming its commitment to equipping young people with the digital skills required to thrive in today’s technology driven world. The initiative, coordinated by the Office of the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Digital Innovations, resumed on Monday, August 3, 2026, across participating centres in the state as students continued their digital learning journey.
The opening day featured a blend of revision and practical learning sessions, allowing participants to strengthen previously acquired knowledge while progressing into more advanced concepts. Across the various centres, students were introduced to Python programming and web development using HTML, CSS and Bootstrap. Introductory sessions on Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a coding assistant, and the fundamentals of Frontend Development were also delivered, while revision classes covered Microsoft Excel for data analysis, typing speed improvement, and previously taught digital literacy concepts according to participants’ level of learning.
The sessions were facilitated by trained instructors who guided participants through interactive classroom activities, encouraging critical thinking, creativity, and hands on problem solving. Students also explored the growing role of Artificial Intelligence as a learning and coding assistant, gaining practical insights into how emerging technologies are transforming education and the workplace.
The Summer Edition builds on the progress recorded during the earlier phase of the programme, enabling participants to deepen their understanding of digital concepts through a structured curriculum that combines classroom instruction with practical learning. As the weeks progress, students will continue to develop the technical and problem solving skills required to thrive in an increasingly digital world.
The six week programme will continue with progressively advanced modules, practical coding exercises, and collaborative learning experiences, culminating in a Grand Project Exhibition where participants will showcase innovative solutions developed throughout the training.
Through this initiative, the Kwara State Government continues to advance digital inclusion and empower young people with future ready skills for the evolving digital economy. The Office of the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Digital Innovations sincerely appreciates the unwavering support and visionary leadership of His Excellency, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, CON, Executive Governor of Kwara State, whose continued investment in digital education has made the Kwara Coding and Digital Literacy Programme a cornerstone of innovation and youth empowerment in the state.
