Digital Equity Africa Partners UNESCO, Others Train Children, Teenagers In AI

Digital Equity Africa has partnered with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), Oracle Academy, and Nigeria’s National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) to organise Future Minds Artificial Intelligence Summer Camp 2025 for children and teenagers in Lagos State.

The Summer camp, which is the first AI-focused summer camp for kids and teenagers to happen in Africa, followed the success of Digital Equity Africa, at the recently held Kids Tech Festival.

LEADERSHIP reports that the transformative online AI learning experience is designed to equip children aged 6 to 17 with future-ready skills in Artificial Intelligence and Innovation. With this training, Digital Equity Africa is setting the stage for Africa’s next generation of digital leaders.

The Camp held from August 4 to 16, 2025, would have Demo Day on Saturday, August 17th 2025. The Campus located in Ikoyi, Lagos, Nigeria, also covers some impact beneficiaries who have been selected from low-income areas and allowed to learn about AI.

It was further gathered that the Future Minds AI Camp curriculum is developed in collaboration with UNESCO, Oracle Academy, NITDA, Kids Tech Fest – A Global AI Summit for Children, and Digital Equity Africa. These globally recognised institutions are shaping the future of education, technology, and policy.

Their involvement guarantees a world-class curriculum aligned with international best practices and standards.

“This camp is more than a summer program. It is a pipeline for Africa’s future thinkers, builders, and innovators. Building on the momentum of Kids Tech Fest, we are scaling impact through deeper, more immersive learning,” says founder of Digital Equity Africa and Convener of Future Minds, Justina Nnam Oha.

Children enrolled in the camp will learn about and be exposed to discovery of how Artificial Intelligence works and why it’s important, understanding of AI safety, how to use it responsibly, ethically and staying safe on AI Tools, how to create music, visual art, and animations using AI tools how to design simple mobile and web applications and collaborate in teams to solve real-world problems.

Campers will also be able to pitch their ideas during Demo Day and earn a Certificate of Recognition as a Future Minds AI Ambassador.
