Announcing Keta Senior High Technical School Digital Camp

Two months ago we announced our plans to scale up our digital literacy camps to West Africa with a view to test the feasibility of our curriculum in various places beyond our East Africa.

Today we’re happy to announce the first of such an initiative at Keta Senior High Technical School in Keta, a coastal city in Ghana’s Volta Region.

Keta Senior High Technical School boasts spacious classrooms, excellent science laboratories and houses the Keta District Science Resource Centre.

This digital camp will run at the school premises from Wednesday 26th October 2011 to Sunday 30th October 2011 and will mostly be evening sessions after the normal daily class schedules.

The camp will be run by three volunteers: Jo Webber, Mac-JordanDegadjor and Gameli Adzaho.

Jo is based in the UK and is volunteering with The Kuyu Project for this camp. She is a freelance journalist and digital consultant with a passion for the ever evolving digital media landscape.

Jo shares her thoughts in this video as she prepares for the event.

Mac-Jordan is a Ghanaian Social Blogger, Writer, Technologist and a Social Activist who’s work and passion focuses on a range of issues related to Technology, Entrepreneurship, African Ingenuity, Gender, Human Rights and Freedom of Expression with special emphasis on the Sub-Saharan African region. Mac-Jordan has posted his thoughts on the camp on his blog. You can read up here.

Gameli Adzaho is our primary contact at Keta Senior High Technical School and an avid blogger and active techie in the Ghana scene.

You can follow the updates of the camp on this blog as well as on our Twitter Account, @TheKuyuProject, and Facebook Page – The Kuyu Project. We will also be tweeting using the #KuyuGH hashtag.
