The future is digital—and it begins now.

It offers a dynamic, hands-on learning experience that sparks curiosity and fosters creativity through coding, digital literacy, innovation thinking, and problem-solving—all in a fun and engaging environment.

This impactful initiative is proudly championed by the Kwara State Government under the visionary leadership of His Excellency, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
