Fusam Shettima |
I was opportune to participate in the Abuja digital summer institute for young women in July, 2017 where I was trained on advanced technological skills. These have helped me a lot in my work. I was also awarded a prize money of fifty thousand naira (N50, 000) at the end of the training, which we use to purchase science text books and some teaching materials for boosting my launched free extra classes for IDPs at Bakassi camp, Maiduguri, Borno State to increase science education for less privilege girls in IDPs camp as part of my initiative and contribution. |

I utilised the skills I gain from the digital summer institute training and trained my younger ones and my colleagues in school. What we are planning is to gather 100 level students and train them on the applications. The challenge we are facing is that some do not have android phone but we are planning to select about 10 with android and train them in such a way they will train others |

When I went back to my NYSC serving place Department of Urban and Regional Planning in Bayero University Kano my HOD was asking me what Impact I can bring with the training I participated. There is a project being carried out named “Mr CD LAB†which includes video documentations and I was able to use the knowledge record, edit and document it. The project was presented at International conference including the videos I was able to prepare and was presented live in Youtube and twitter. This made me surprised to have my work being on web and being followed. I also did similar work for another lecturer from another department. Now there some also asking me to do the job for them and are ready to pay me. Also Developers Circle Kano contacted me to share the skills to young women during their program on Women in Tech |

After the training I thought of many things that I can do. I paid a courtesy visit to the permanent secretary of Higher Institutions and informed her about the programm and proposed the programm to be conducted in Kano annually or even monthly. She then gave us chance organise advocacy and have full proposal on how to implement it, and now I am planning to meet her. |
