Ghana Summer 2002

Presbyterian Boys' Secondary School
June 1, 2002 to July 15, 2002

Overview

The majority of the students in the AITI-Ghana project were from Presbyterian Boys Secondary School, but there were also many students from Achimota High School. All of the students had completed secondary school and were in different stages of their post- secondary education. Some of the students had previous computer experience, but few had extensive programming experience. All students were comfortable with basic computer applications but had some apprehension about writing a computer program. In general, the students were interested in computer related topics but lacked the confidence to work in the computer industry. This course was an important first step in gaining that confidence.
