The course targets participants under the African Girls Can Code Initiative enrolled at the level of lower or upper secondary school. This course is open to girls who are 18 years old and above. 

There are no special requirements to attend the coding camp but it will be helpful if participants possess the following basic digital skills to access course materials and accomplish course activities online:- 

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: 

The course is delivered using the ITU Academy Learning Management System, with interactive activities like quizzes, drag and drop exercises, flip cards, and other interactive tools aiming to improve the learning experience.

Three assessment methods for the modules include:

• In the pre-assessment phase, the current knowledge, capabilities, and interests of the learners are identified using a survey at the beginning of the course. 
• In the formative assessment phase, points-based questions, scenarios, and quizzes are used to collect feedback and information to measure participants’ progress during the learning process. 
• In the post-assessment phase, feedback about the learning experience, the level of understanding of the different modules following the completion of the course and suggestions for enhancement as appropriate.

The grading will be done based on the learning modules and sub-modules completed. Learners should obtain an overall score of 80% and above to successfully complete the course and receive the digital badge.
