The Teen Ambassadors Foundation has trained 40 students on coding and robotics in Abuja.
Director General of the Foundation, Dr Paul Adiwu, said the training was to expose the children to science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) and robotics.
He spoke at the closing ceremony of the second edition of the free summer programme on STEM education with robotics, organised by the Foundation in collaboration with Net Access Communication Ltd in Abuja.
Adiwu said this was to ensure they are able to compete favourably with their peers across the world and drive the development of these important fields in the country.
Stressing that the relevance of such knowledge cannot be overemphasised, he said his passion to develop the potential of the children in these important areas motivated him to carry out the exercise free of charge.
He called on the Federal Government to invest more in young Nigerians in the area of Science and Information Communication Technology.
He said the Foundation was offering scholarships to support further education in software and computer engineering to outstanding students.
“We don’t just stop at this training that we’ve started. We are stepping up our game by giving support to those that want to go further. We can give them scholarships.
“We can give them scholarships to study software engineering or computer engineering. It’s not just by picking people randomly.
