In a bold step towards shaping the future of technology-driven innovation, Ideas & Data Global Academy (IDGA) recently conducted an engaging robotics training for youth aged 15 to 17 in Kano State. This initiative is part of the Academy’s commitment to fostering skills in emerging technologies among young minds, providing them with the tools and knowledge to thrive in the digital age.

The training program, which took place in Kano State, introduced participants to the fundamentals of robotics. With hands-on activities and practical projects, the young learners were able to build, program, and control robots, gaining invaluable experience in problem-solving, teamwork, and critical thinking.

The course instructors at IDGA designed the curriculum to ensure that it was not only educational but also fun and interactive. Students explored the world of robotics through the construction of their own functional robot models, using cutting-edge technology and guided by expert trainers.

The Academy’s focus on nurturing young talent aligns with its broader mission to empower the youth of Nigeria, especially in Kano State, with the skills necessary for the future of work. By giving these teens early exposure to robotics, the training aims to spark an interest in technology and engineering, potentially guiding them toward careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).

A Step Towards the Future

The Kano robotics training is part of the Green Rising Initiative, which emphasizes the role of technology in solving global challenges, such as climate change. Robotics plays a crucial role in environmental monitoring, disaster response, and green technologies, making it a key element in the Academy’s broader sustainability goals.

As the world increasingly shifts towards automation and artificial intelligence, IDGA continues to lead efforts in preparing Nigerian youth to participate in the global digital economy. This training is only the beginning, with more planned programs aimed at increasing access to digital learning, connectivity, and innovation.

Stay tuned for more updates on our upcoming programs and initiatives as we continue to transform young lives through education and technology.
