Interactive Coding Bootcamps

Code Afrique, initially Ghana Hacks, is a continuing program designed for African high school and University students with an interest or bias in the sciences. It is aimed at giving these students a window into the world of computer science and its vast potential for development. The objective is to change the narrow mentality that medical school and other well-known scientific professions are the only options for science students who graduate from high school. The program also serves as an avenue for these high school students to network with students from the continent pursuing higher education and careers in Computer Science.

Our Programs:
Advanced Computer Systems Presentations
Participants gather for an interactive presentation on the latest developments in computer science conducted by one of the following faculty members: Dr. Robbert Van Renesse, Research Professor at Cornell University, or Dr. Hakim Weatherspoon, Professor of Computer Science at Cornell University. Through this, current and inspiring computer science students can boost their productivity, increase their self-efficacy, become empowered to make a difference in their communities, and learn how to expand their sphere of influence.

Interactive Coding Bootcamps
Computer science students from pre-selected partner schools engage in a full day of synergetic lessons and workshops on basic programming, followed by a competitive hackathon and mentorship sessions with distinguished representatives from educational institutions and partner corporations.
