What happened in the room

The workshop’s impact led the University of Rwanda to incorporate Python programming into their official curriculum.
One participant travelled 25 hours by road from Kenya to attend. Many juggled work and family commitments to participate.
Two CSA 2018 alumni (Ifeoma and Paul from University of Ibadan) returned as tutors, building capacity to organise future workshops.
Participants split into two experience-based groups, covering everything from basic programming to data analysis, BBC micro:bit, and object-oriented Python.
Teams built an interpreter and tackled data science challenges, presenting their work on the final day.
Participants gained remarkable confidence over two weeks, explaining concepts to peers and tackling errors independently.
