65 teenagers have benefited from a coding program facilitated by Think Young Africa in partnership with Boeing in Kenya’s capital Nairobi.

The closing ceremony of the 17th edition of Think Young Coding school was held on Sunday at Nairobi Garage attended by dignitaries from the two organizations and top government officials.

“ Coding is needed and we cannot hide anymore because it is the reality. So, we have to prepare this generation and equip them with digital skills for the future,” said Think Young  Director Delila Kidanu.

Boeing Middle East President Kuljit Ghata said coding is crucial to children as it prepares them for the current world and the future world which will largely be reliant on digital skills.

Her sentiments were echoed by Kidanu who said, “We have ensured that all the programs that we have built out are research-based and also fill out the gaps in terms of what the market needs.”

Some of the children who attended the classes which included learning how to create websites, robotics, drones and aviation workshops said the classes instilled a sense of responsibility in them and expanded their mindset which are needed for a digital world.
