Programs and Community

We run up to 7 programs each year, each of which lasts 5-6 weeks. Each program is taught by a graduate-student from the University of Buea, and is held in the nearby ICT-Computer center. Because of the ongoing civil conflict in Cameroon, our classrooms are gated with security on hand. We are currently looking to expand our offerings to other parts of Northwest and Southwest Cameroon in order to meet rising demand for our programs from middle- and high-schools in these regions.

We actively work toward building community beyond the classroom. First Byte graduates already have the opportunity to continue their journey in technology through scholarship programs and advanced classes offerings with our partners. We are also exploring partnerships with local businesses that will allow students to gain real-world experience using technology in accounting and cataloging.
