The Coding Table
We create access to technology education, mentorship and opportunities for young people and underserved communities across Nigeria.
Computing education is spreading. Access to it isn't.
It is clear how important K–12 computing education is, and how widespread it is becoming in more recent years. But what does that mean for low-resource communities? Is computer science being taught? Are students taught computational thinking? Can they code?
Nigeria has formally incorporated computer and digital education into its school system, and national policy is increasingly emphasizing digital literacy.
However, the evidence suggests substantial gaps between the formal curriculum, infrastructure, teacher capacity and students' actual opportunities to engage in practical computing and programming. These gaps are unevenly distributed across schools and locations.
We complement the classroom. We don't replace it.
The Coding Table aims to complement, rather than replace, formal education by providing practical, sustained opportunities for students to develop computational thinking, programming and technology-creation skills.
The issue we are focused on isearly exposure,sustainability, and continuity.
