Forty young people from Agona Nkwanta, Princess Town and Apowa walked out of the Ahanta Youth Coding Bootcamp last Friday with certificates in one hand and live URLs in the other.
Each trainee spent the final month working on a small community project. Highlights:
- A market price tracker showing daily prices for tomato, onion and pepper across three local markets.
- A lost-and-found board for the central Agona Nkwanta lorry station.
- An immunisation reminder bot that sends SMS nudges to parents two days before clinic days.
Programme lead Kwesi Ofori said the next cohort opens in August and will double the number of laptops on the floor thanks to a partnership with a Takoradi-based ISP.
