inABLE Coding for Interns Team recently showcased their coding skills at the 3rd Annual Inclusive Africa Conference hosted by inABLE on May 25-26, 2022 at the Trademark Hotel in Nairobi Kenya.
This is a team of five young brilliant interns who are either blind and visually impaired and have all been been part of the Computer-Labs-for-the-Blind Program at Primary and High School level. They all did graduate high school recently and inABLE enrolled them in the coding program which takes a year to complete trained by inABLE.
In less than one year, these interns have proved to be very skilled at HTML and they have all created different websites which they are currently working on perfecting. These interns have also now been hired as Computer Instructors and are teaching the blind and visually impared students in the 6 inABLE Computer-Labs-for-the-Blind stations in Meru, Thika, Siaya, and Likoni Counties.
Led by Anthony who aspires to be the first blind computer programmer in Africa, their presentation at the 3rd Annual Inclusive Africa Conference was proof that Disability is not inability, and given a platform, people living with disabilities can excel and deliver. These interns delivered an inspiritation presentation to over 300 participants from different industries and countries.
These phenomenal group includes Atanus, Anthony, Amina, Charity, and Christine.
