Future Code Club inspiring teens to code and get creative with technology

Future Code Club is a nonprofit initiative dedicated to providing teens between ages 9 to 18 years access to computer programming skills through hour of code, after-school and weekend programs.

Recently a team from Future Code Club found my contact as ITAU National Coordinator and sought an appointment to meet me to discuss about how they can partner with the ICT Teachers Association of Uganda.

Future Code Club believe that digital skills are tools of empowerment, and their curriculum inspires the next generation to get excited about computing and digital making. The world is changing, and young people should be ready for the future!

Future Code Club are here to make sure that all young girls, boys and children with disabilities have access to the knowledge they need to prosper in the digital world. The photo gallery below was taken during one of their sessions at Lubiri Secondary School, and they are currently reaching out to partner with more schools countrywide.
