21ST CENTURY SKILLS TRAINING 4 KIDS IN NIGERIA

 12 Students from different schools in Apata ajele  Eyenkorin Community in Ilorin Kwara State, Nigeria, spent their midterm break at our office as they have been looking forward to this opportunity again because they were not available during the last camp meeting where the camp participants were taught how to use the computer. This set were taught how to use the computer, how to identify certain symbols and what they stand for on the computer and how to use microsoft office word on the computer. The training was facilitated by an OCDI staff

Below are some of the Success Stories:

•  Blessing(13years) can now use the microsoft word to type documents and she is happy about it

•  Emmanuel (11 years) said " i didint know the parts of a computer before but now i know and i am happy about it"                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

•  Saheed( 15years)  is so excited to know that he can paint his pictures using the computer, being a kid who love to draw and paint, as he only believes he could only use papers and water color.

At the end of the training, the students were given a task to put into practice what they were taught, which they carried out succesfully and they were all excited about the task 

The training will continue once in a week for the students as they will be taught more on Microsoft Office Word and will be introuduced to more softwares such as Microsoft Excel, Powerpoint and Graphics designing  using the Corel draw.
