The first-ever cohort of NGI's Northern Girl Coding Project
We are thrilled to officially commence the first-ever cohort of NGI's Northern Girl Coding Project this October 2023! This program came to fruition to equip girls who recently completed Senior High School with technical and leadership tools to become changemakers uplifting local communities.
Our exceptional inaugural cohort encompasses 30 driven young women ready to chart bold new futures. During this journey, participants will build foundational coding abilities through project-based lessons led by instructors.
Following an insightful orientation on October 11th, the cohort commenced intensive training on October 27th at our Tamale center. As hands-on guidance gets underway, we aim for graduates to implement sustainable initiatives addressing economic, health or social issues back in their villages leveraging freshly honed digital acumen.
By creating pathways into the thriving innovation ecosystem for Ghana's next generation of female leaders, we are strengthening communities for decades while closing tech field gender gaps.
