Our Mission
Tech Clubs bring regular, low-pressure digital learning into schools, especially for girls and students from underserved communities, so first curiosity becomes steady practice and a route into our training.
Objectives
- Convert one-time exposure into sustained engagement and practical skill-building habits.
- Make digital learning feel accessible, social, and embedded within everyday school life.
- Identify and prepare learners ready for deeper academy training, challenges, or leadership roles.
Learn more
- Give schools a repeatable structure for ongoing digital skills development without heavy lift.
How it works

ITFY partners with schools to establish a club model tailored to local context, timetable, and student interest.
Meet
Students gather regularly for guided activities, peer learning, hands-on projects, and exposure to real tech pathways.

Who it is for
For secondary school students who want regular practice, and schools that want a ready-made way to run it.
- Secondary school students seeking consistent exposure to technology and problem-solving.
- Schools and ICT leads wanting structured, recurring digital engagement for their learners.
- Young people—particularly girls and underserved learners—who may progress into formal training.
- Participation is coordinated through partner schools or school-based outreach activations.
- No prior coding experience is required; curiosity and commitment to attend are enough.
- Best results come from schools prepared to host recurring sessions and support student follow-through.
Questions
How is a Tech Club different from a one-off workshop?
A workshop is a single event. A club creates continuity, peer accountability, and repeated practice that builds lasting skills and confidence.
Can a school request help starting a Tech Club?
Yes. Tell us about your school through the Educational Partnerships page and we will set up a first session.
Do club members advance into other ITFY programmes?
Yes. Clubs are a primary feeder into Code Impact Challenge, Girls in Tech, Rural Tech Connect, and full cohort training.
“The club gave us somewhere to keep going after the first workshop. That consistency changed everything for me.”
Emmanuel D.Tech Club member“Students need repetition to build real confidence. Clubs deliver that in a way one-off sessions simply cannot.”
Mr. MensahSchool ICT lead“The real shift happens when students start leading sessions and teaching their peers. That is when ownership clicks.”
