The 2025 TechCamp in Abuja has concluded, showcasing innovative ideas from young participants as young as ten years old in emerging technologies such as artificial general intelligence, robotics, 3D printing, and cyber safety. The one‑month training program, organized by Intelcode and 3logy, combined hands‑on instruction with real‑world problem solving, encouraging participants to blend innovation with ambition.
Nazira Aminu, Head of Training and Innovation at 3logy, explained that the camp’s focus extended beyond artificial intelligence to explore the future of AGI, where technology becomes more intelligent and transformative. She emphasized that the program aims to prepare Africa’s next generation of innovators, stating that participants are not merely learners but future creators of technology.
Notable participants included 10‑year‑old Khadija Bawa, who is building a robot to help people wash their hands without causing dryness, and 13‑year‑old Anwar Hamisu Idris, who presented a tracking robot designed to support military, security, and AI‑related challenges. Despite their interest in technology, both have diverse career aspirations: Khadija wants to become a lawyer, while Anwar aims to be a Formula 1 driver.
The camp attracted dozens of young innovators who explored hands‑on projects in emerging technologies and were encouraged to consider the intersection of technology with other fields. Aminu urged participants and parents to view the experience as the foundation of a lifelong journey in innovation, emphasizing that TechCamp is a gateway to building the future.
With participants like Khadija and Anwar already demonstrating innovative thinking and early prototypes, TechCamp 2025 has reinforced its role as a launchpad for Nigeria’s next generation of thinkers, builders, and world changers. The program’s focus on emerging technologies and interdisciplinary approaches provided a unique opportunity for young people to develop technical skills and think creatively about technology’s applications. As the program ends, its impact on participants and its contribution to Africa’s future innovators are clear.
