Ghana Code Club
Ghana Code Club registered under the Healthy Career Initiative, is a Non-Governmental Organization in Ghana. Our aim is to equip Ghanaian children and youth with a focus on inclusion of underrepresented groups, with the skills they need to be prepared for further studies, including advanced digital skills and science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) courses, leading to the jobs of the future. <p></p> <mark>Ghana Code Club organizes coding programs, robotic and technology classes from Schools, Libraries, community centers through a network of trained educators and volunteers to guide kids and teens to program using visual and text languages such as Scratch, HTML/CSS, Python and others to make computer games, animations, websites and mobile apps. We also use incredible hardware from Arduino, BeeBots, Revolution Robotics, micro: bits, programmable drones, makey-makey kits etc to make our lessons practical and fun for our code clubs.</mark> <p></p> Computer programming, computer science and STEM programs are important concepts for today’s world; - that is why we are on a mission to ensure no child particularly girls are left out. Radical action is needed if we are to close the digital gender gap. <p></p> Ghana Code Club since 2015 has proven to be a huge success reaching over 55,000 directly and indirectly through trained educators and dedicated volunteers and still counting! We are thrilled that corporate organizations like SAMSUNG and America Tower Company have partnered us to extend our computer science activities to children and the youth in rural Ghana through their CSR initiatives. With their support in building Community ICT learning centers across rural Ghana, we are hopeful for the participation of the less privileged. The SAMSUNG Ghana and ATC Ghana digital centers are spread across Accra, Swedru, Tarkwa, Asuom, Jamasi, Bodua and Akontobra. <p></p> The above rural ICT centers run free courses teaching kids fundamentals of computer science. Benefiting over 15,000 students yearly.
University of Ghana
This is the Information Technology age and at its core is Computer Science. The study of computer science is therefore critical if society is to take full advantage of the benefits Information Technology has to offer and make rapid economic advances. Computer science involves the study and development of applications that allow for our everyday use of computers, the software systems that support these applications, and the means and methods used to produce both applications and systems that behave reliably, correctly and ethically. At the heart of Computer Science lies the skill of computer programming and employers who hire Computer Scientists expect adept programmers with knowledge of current techniques and tools and the ability to apply sound engineering principles to the development, construction and maintenance of computer programs. <p></p> <mark>The range of courses available in the department and the skills acquired by students enable them to find employment in many diverse fields of the economy and prepare our graduates for the computing industry, working in a project team (or research and development team), and to enable the graduate to bring specialist skills to that team.</mark> The course also provides the platform for further study or research through exposure to established and emerging technologies and methods, and to active fields of research in Computer Science.

blueMoon
Two-thirds of Ethiopians are below the age of 25. Twenty million Ethiopians are aged 15 to 24. They hold the future of Ethiopia in their hands. They have ideas, ambitions, frustrations, and dreams. We believe their dreams matter and can transform Ethiopia, and may even change the world. <mark>blueMoon is an exciting initiative to discover, nurture, and fund exceptional agribusiness ideas among youth that are innovative, scalable, and have huge transformational potential.</mark> We want to discover and grow Ethiopian youth agribusiness startups that can change the world. <p></p> How it works <br> We believe that exceptional ideas and exceptional founders should be matched with exceptional support. We try our best to discover amazing, out-of-the-box, disruptive, highly innovative, scalable, and potentially transformational ideas from youth interested in Ethiopian agribusiness. Twice a year, we run a national competition and accept a small number of startups (5 to 10) into our on-site 4-month program based in Addis Ababa. Our batches run February to May (Belg Batch) and August to November (Kiremt batch). <p></p> We require founder teams of 2 to 3 entrepreneurs because we believe that startups have a better chance of success with more than one founder. We also think that it takes more than training and money to create a great company. So, we take a holistic approach to the support we give to our startups. Over four super-intense months in our on-site incubator program in Addis Abab, we do several things: <p></p> - we provide our startup teams with a place to work alongside other talented and motivated entrepreneurs <br> - we provide training on business skills (“hard” skills) and “soft” skills like leadership, emotional intelligence, ethics, teambuilding, among others we coach our startups to get from an idea to a narrative to a value proposition to a feasibility study to a business model to an operational business plan to a branding and marketing strategy to investment needs and projections to pitch readiness <br> - we support our startups as they register their companies, develop websites, build prototypes, recruit talent, and go through setup activities <br> - we link our startups to top executives and heads of industry (the Lions) <br> - we facilitate access to business support service providers, and <br> - we match our startups founders to one-on-one mentoring with business professionals for 12 months. <p></p> In addition to the above, we invest seed funds into each startup we incubate. So we only accept startups with ideas we believe have high potential and are investable and have a founder team that we consider to be emotionally intelligent, incredibly hungry for success, and humble enough to take advice and criticism. Most importantly, we look for founders who have the grit, determination, integrity, and passion to execute and to stay through the rocky road of entrepreneurship. We believe that entrepreneurs are born, not made. Our job is to provide the fertile ground where truly innovative, exceptional entrepreneurs can thrive and grow great companies.
