FMCIDE Build-A-Thon Holiday Camp 2025
The Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy (FMCIDE) is calling on parents across Nigeria to register their children for the 2025 Build-A-Thon Holiday Camp.
Build-A-Thon is an initiative of the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation & Digital Economy (FMCIDE) to introduce students to coding, embedded systems and the maker culture.
This program offers students unparalleled learning opportunities through hands-on experiences in our technology labs, DIY kits, and practical workshops, all designed to enhance both their soft and hard skills.
The Build-A-Thon, however, stands out for targeting the younger demographic early, aiming to plant the seeds of tech innovation in Nigerian children while they’re still in school.
This initiative serves as a necessary first step in developing our nation’s knowledge base by deepening digital literacy across Nigeria.
Participants won’t just be sitting in classrooms. Using technology kits and collaborative workshops, children will work directly on projects to introduce them to modern maker culture, the idea of creating rather than simply consuming technology.
The program also exposes them to digital concepts through real-world applications that encourage innovation.
The camp is not restricted to children living in the host cities. Parents from anywhere in Nigeria are eligible to register their children
