The Coding Caravan is a digital skills awareness program as part of the Coding Education for Ghana Initiative of IIPGH. Since 2018, the Institute has introduced coding to young ones starting from age 8, involving three different stakeholders in the industry, and ten (11) different centers/schools in 5 regions of Ghana. With a vision of taking the coding program beyond the national capital, IIPGH in August 2021 birthed a Coding Caravan initiative that toured the southern parts of the country with a mission to introduce coding to young people. The caravan kicked off in Accra and made stopovers in the Central, Western, Eastern, and Volta regions. Targeting pupils, teachers/trainers, schools, communities, educators, and policymakers in Ghana. The Coding Caravan introduces coding basics to young ones, aiming at implementing creative ideas–as one can create computer games, interactive animations and graphics, and many other applications. It offers all children and beginners an easy and playful introduction to programming.
