Telecel DigiTech Academy showcases innovation; 500 learners graduate in 4th cohort

The Telecel DigiTech Academy is designed for upper primary and junior high school students, who complete a 12-week after-school programme in robotics, coding, web design and mobile application development.

Rita Agyeiwaa Rockson, Head of Foundation, Sustainability and External Communications at Telecel Ghana, said the programme was deliberately designed to move young people beyond consuming technology to creating it.

The DigiTech Academy forms part of the Telecel Ghana Foundation's Connected Learning initiative and is delivered in partnership with the Ghana Education Service and the Ghana STEM Centre through implementing partners Mingo Foundation and Asustem Robotics.
