This November, Ashesi hosted its annual Ashesi Code Fair on campus in which over 70 participants from seven tertiary institutions in the greater Accra region competed individually and in teams. Put on by the Ashesi Student Council and co-sponsored by Ashesi alumni-founded tech company DreamOval, the Code Fair aims to provide students with a platform to compete, network, and gain exposure to real-world programming problems all while challenging their coding skills.
The Fair is not just for Computer Science majors; all students at Ashesi take courses in basic coding, so students from all majors complete in the Code Fair and immerse themselves in technology and computer programming. For those that are in Computer Science, it is a unique opportunity to apply concepts they have learned in class and test their readiness to enter the working world in their field.
The Ashesi Code Fair is an example of the variety of programming that is held on campus for students to enrich their experience by expanding their learning, exploring real-world applications of their studies, and connecting with other students and professionals in their fields. Our donor community helps us to provide this rich launching pad from which Ashesi students go forth and transform Africa. Thank you.
