Indrive’s BeginIT Project Trains Underserved Kids On IT Skills

BeginIT, a social educational project spearheaded by inDrive, has completed a one-day training program for less privileged children in Nigeria with Information Technology (IT) skills.
The BeginIT program is an initiative from inDrive targeted at identifying and providing future career guidance for capable children from orphanages, boarding schools, and rural schools in the sphere of new technologies.
Thirty-three students drawn from 3 schools owned by not-for-profit organizations were groomed on different technologies, including Embedded Systems (Physical Computing with Arduino kit).
At the end of the session, the students presented projects to demonstrate their ability to identify solutions relative to transportation in their environment.
In his remarks, the Director of Transport Operations, Lagos Ministry of Transportation, Olasunkanmi Ojowuro, who represented the Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, commended inDrive for the initiative, which he said would go a long way to bring about innovations needed to transform not only the transportation sector but other sectors in the state.
