Applications are now open for the 2025 NaijaCoder Summer Coding Program. The NaijaCoder summer camp is a free summer coding program for high school students in Nigeria.NaijaCoder offers free tutorials on algorithms and computer programming.
NaijaCoder, Inc. is a research and education institute based in the U.S. and Nigeria. One of their major activities is an intensive summer program in Nigeria aimed at high schoolers and entry-level college students.
The program provides free instruction on the basics and computer programming.
The broad goal of NaijaCoder, Inc. is to encourage early science education in the Global South, starting from Nigeria. The NaijaCoder board consists of majority EducationUSA alumni from Abuja, Nigeria.
The majority of Nigerian high school students have had little or no exposure to the fundamentals of algorithms and programming
NaijaCoder believes this trajectory should change as programming offers these students, especially those from indigent backgrounds, an opportunity to learn profitable skills and ignite their passions for problem-solving and critical thinking.
The next NaijaCoder summer camp will take place in August 2025.
