DIGITEST 2023
Date: Wednesday 16th – Friday 25th, August, 2023
VENUE: Aduvie International School, Jahi, Abuja, FCT
Welcome to DIGITEST 2023!
Hello Friend,
For over two decades, Digital Peers has been at the forefront of promoting the active participation of children between the ages of 8 and 18, as well as their teachers, in the realm of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Our steadfast commitment has been to equip the younger generation with the necessary skills, knowledge, and confidence to embrace the digital era and become drivers of positive change.
DIGITEST is a unique opportunity for children to learn about ICT and develop their creative skills. Through a variety of activities, including workshops, lectures, and competitions, participants will have the chance to explore their interests in coding, design, animation, and more.
This year, as we gather in the vibrant city of Abuja from August 12th to 22nd, 2023 in Aduvie International School
we are going to embark on a remarkable journey dedicated to the theme of “Digital Solutions to Plastic Waste Management.” The escalating issue of plastic waste demands urgent attention and innovative solutions. It is our firm belief that technology, combined with the creative minds of our young participants, can pave the way for a sustainable future.
In addition to learning new skills, DIGITEST is also a chance for children to make new friends and have fun. We have a packed schedule of activities planned, including field trips, games, and social events.
We encourage all students to register for DIGITEST 2023. This is a great opportunity to learn new skills, make new friends, and have fun.
Register for DIGITEST 2023 today!
