The Selfless Hearts Foundation has commenced the training of over 300 Nigerians across the country in digital skill.

Through a meticulously crafted curriculum, participants will gain competitive digital skills, enhance their academic performance and develop their leadership abilities, founder of the foundation, Miss Chelsea Jegede said.

Jegede in a statement said the aim of the training tagged “TECHATHON” is to empower participants to explore the world of technology, design solutions to local challenges, showcase their creativity and increase employability, and promote inclusivity in the tech industry.

She said, “The Selfless Techathon 1.0 organized by the Selfless Hearts Foundation has set a new benchmark in tech education, empowering over 300 young participants with full-ride scholarships in UI/UX design, data analytics, web development, and a range of specialized classes including branding, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, product design, and tech motivation. This pioneering event is not just a course but a transformative journey for aspiring technologists.

“The Techathon commenced with an inspiring launch at the Wave Beach Hall, where eager faces gathered in a shared quest for knowledge. From the initial orientation to electrifying networking sessions, every moment was imbued with a sense of purpose and possibility.

“Participants from diverse backgrounds united by a common goal – to harness the power of technology to create meaningful solutions.
One of the highlights of the Techathon launch was the panel session, a kaleidoscope of insights where industry titans shared their wisdom and participants also had the opportunity to meet one on one with industry experts including the CEO of Wakanow who is also a headline sponsor.

“These sessions ignited sparks of inspiration in every attendee, offering invaluable perspectives on the future of technology and innovation. Following the launch, participants engaged in virtual classes held every weekend, ensuring flexible learning schedules. To optimize the learning experience, a physical workshop is held once a month, providing an opportunity for hands-on learning, reviews, special classes, tech motivation, collaboration, and networking.

“These sessions culminate in a hackathon, a thrilling competition where participants form teams to develop tech-based solutions. Excellence is rewarded with internships and special master classes, offering a gateway to further professional growth.

“The Selfless Techathon 1.0 stands as one of the most significant tech education initiatives to date, with overwhelming positive responses from participants. Such acts of empowerment should be encouraged and supported by individuals and organizations alike. There is a clarion call for sponsors and collaborators to join this noble cause, ensuring that the torch of innovation and education continues to burn brightly.

“In a world increasingly driven by technology, the Selfless Techathon 1.0 is not just a program; it is a beacon of hope and opportunity, nurturing the next generation of tech leaders.”
