In line with Governor Peter Mbah's disruptive vision to propel Enugu State into the technological forefront, the Enugu State Tech Hub recently organized an inspiring mini Hackathon for children. This event spanned six weeks and encompassed three distinct learning tracks: Front End Software Development, Robotics using C++, and Graphics Design.
One noteworthy aspect of the event was the choice given to the children. They had the opportunity to select between Graphics and Design or Frontend Software Development, while Robotics remained a common track for all participants.
Meanwhile, the top achiever in the Graphics Design category astounded everyone by creating an entire advertising campaign for a new cosmetic line. She masterfully conceptualized the brand name, brand materials, brand tagline, and brand identity—all within an impressive six-week timeframe.
During his interview with FountainCare News, Chidubem Anowor, the General Manager/Chief Executive of the Enugu State Tech Hub, extended his heartfelt congratulations to the graduates and took the opportunity to commend Governor Peter Mbah and his administration for their dedicated efforts in equipping both the young and old with essential technological skills for the modern era.
Anowor expressed his gratitude, stating, "We offer our sincere and special appreciation to His Excellency, Barr. Peter Mbah, the Governor of Enugu State, for his pivotal role in ensuring the success of this program and his ongoing contributions to the state. Today, we celebrate a group of hybrid youngsters whose technological horizons have been significantly expanded, all thanks to the dedication of Governor Peter Mbah."
"In just under 100 days in office, Governor Peter Mbah's administration has left an indelible mark on various sectors, including Technology, Security, Water, Waste Management, Traffic Management, Finance, Agriculture, Education, and Foreign Partnerships. Enugu State has witnessed remarkable development during this short period, and we can only express our profound gratitude for having a leader like Barr. Peter Mbah, who has been a blessing to the people of Enugu State" he said.
This Mini Hackathon stands as a testament to the Enugu State Government's commitment under the visionary leadership of Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah. The state is primed for transformative development, positioning itself to attract investors and nurturing its young citizens with the skills to make valuable contributions to our ever-evolving technological landscape.
