Happy Children’s Day: 6 Tech academies you can enroll your kids to learn coding

Isaac Adeyemi

Today is national children’s day in Nigeria, Techpadi felicitates with Nigerian children on the occasion of the 2022 Children’s Day celebration. This is a day that brings children across the country together to promote togetherness and awareness about issues that concern them.

Children’s Day is a day that Techpadi has been celebrating since its inception. We believe that the world would be a better place if children were taught how to use technology in a safe and positive way.

Our milestone in this campaign

  1. Since 2021, Techpadi runs a local campaign visiting schools in Ibadan to enlighten children on how to use tech devices responsibly and pave the way for children that wants to pursue a career in tech.
  2. Techpadi also hosts an annual event where people can learn more about tech trends, what it means, and how to take advantage of them. This year’s event is coming up virtually on 13th June 2022.
  3. Techpadi has also partnered with several organizations to encourage parents to enroll their children in tech classes at an early age. This ensures that children are prepared for the fast-paced world of technology, instead of being left behind by it.

Now, there is no denying the fact that we live in a world that is dominated by technology. The world has left the traditional and manual way of doing things to a more better way, almost everything we do has been automated with technology, and it will do us absolutely no good holding on to the past.

According to research, it was established that;

4% of children in 2011 spent the majority of their screen time in front of a mobile device. By 2017, that figure rose to 35%. The figure has probably multiplied by now because of the unrestricted access to phones and technology devices.

Since we can’t deny children access to technology devices our best bet will be to channel their zeal to something more profitable which is learning how to code and its likes.

In today’s post, I will give us 6 online coding academies you can enroll your child.

  1. Kids and tech

At Kids and Tech ICT training centers in Abuja Nigeria, we don’t just teach kids coding, robotics, website design, or basic computer, graphics design, motion graphics, video editing, and game development, but we help them understand technology, the basics, and the future of programming, how to think digitally, how to use coding and programming, technology in general to solve real-life problems. To achieve this, they need to learn from the beginning. So it does not matter the age of your kids, they need to start from the basics and introduction if he/she has not known the fundamentals of technology.
