On June 11, 2026, ROTAGI launched the Tech Star School Program in Akure, Ondo State a milestone in our mission to bridge the digital divide and equip young African girls with the skills they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.
A Strong Start Toward Our Goal
The Tech Star School Program was created with an ambitious vision: to equip 200 girls with practical technology and leadership skills in its first cohort.
We are pleased to share that we have already reached 85 girls through the pilot phase. Their enthusiasm, curiosity, and eagerness to learn reaffirm the importance of creating opportunities that expose young African girls to the world of technology and innovation.
Launching in Akure Ondo State Nigeria: Our First Pilot Schools
The programme officially commenced in two secondary schools in Akure:
- Owajoba High School Akure Ondo State Nigeria
- Muslim Unity Secondary Academy Akure Ondo State Nigeria.
What Is the Tech Star School Program?
The Tech Star School Program is a four‑week, club‑based learning initiative designed to make technology simple, engaging, and accessible for young girls.
The curriculum is built around four key pillars:
- Artificial Intelligence Literacy
- Basic Digital Skills
- Life Skills
- Responsible Technology Use
Through hands on projects, discussions, and practical activities, participants gain real world knowledge while developing the confidence to explore technology.
Looking Ahead: Akure → Abuja → Beyond
The Akure pilot is only the beginning. As we refine and strengthen the programme, ROTAGI is preparing to expand the Tech Star School Program to: Selected schools in Abuja Nigeria, beginning with JSS Kagini Abuja . Our vision remains clear: every African girl deserves access to world class technology education, regardless of geography or circumstance.
