The 2025 edition of TechCamp has come to a close, with participants as young as 10 years showcasing bold ideas in Artificial General Intelligence, AGI, robotics, 3D printing, and cyber safety—underscoring the programme’s mission to prepare Africa’s next generation of innovators.
Organised by Intelcode and 3logy, in Abuja, the one-month training combined hands-on training with real-world problem-solving, encouraging participants to blend innovation with ambition.
Speaking at the closing ceremony, Nazira Aminu, Head of Training and Innovation at 3logy, said the camp went beyond artificial intelligence, AI, to explore the future of AGI, where technology becomes smarter, more human-like, and deeply transformative.
“Our participants now know they are not just learners, but future creators of technology,” Mrs Aminu said.
“This is just the beginning of their journey as innovators of Nigeria, Africa, and the world.”
Among the standout participants was 10-year-old Khadija Bawa, who described herself as an “AGI expert in the making.”
She is already building a robot to help people wash their hands without causing dryness. Despite her interest in technology, Khadija aspires to become a lawyer.
“Technology is for everyone, not just for techies. We are taught here that you can become anything, no matter your field of study,” she said, adding that her dream is to combine law with technology.
Also making waves was 13-year-old Anwar Hamisu Idris, who presented his project Zyphide—a tracking robot designed to support military, security, and AI-related challenges.
While deeply engaged with robotics and cyber safety, young Anwar dreams of becoming a Formula 1 driver.
“We were told here that tech is for all, no matter the career path,” he said. “It has been an amazing moment— a truly great experience of learning in practice.”
The camp, organised by Intelcode and 3logy, attracted dozens of young participants who explored hands-on innovation in emerging technologies.
Beyond technical skills, they were encouraged to think about how technology intersects with other fields, from law to sports.
Mrs Aminu urged participants and parents to see the experience as the foundation of a lifelong journey in innovation.
“Far from being a one-time event, TechCamp is a gateway to building the future—together,” she said.
With participants like Khadija and Anwar already dreaming big and building early prototypes, TechCamp 2025 has reinforced its role as a launchpad for Nigeria’s next generation of thinkers, builders, and world changers.
