The Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy on Monday, FMCIDENigeria, announced the 2025 edition of the Build-A-Thon Holiday Camp for young Nigerians.
The initiative is a hands-on tech learning experience designed to equip Nigerian children with foundational digital skills.
The camp is scheduled to commence on Monday, August 4, 2025, and is open to children aged 10 to 18 years.
Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani, disclosed this via his X handle while urging parents and guardians nationwide to register their children for this enriching tech-focused summer program.
Tijani said: “It’s time for the 2025 edition of the Build-A-Thon Holiday Camp. From Monday 4th August, we are inviting children aged 10 to 18 to spend their holidays learning, building, and bonding with peers from across Nigeria.
“Build-A-Thon is an initiative of the FMCIDENigeria that introduces our children to foundational technology skills, from coding to the Internet of Things, IoT.
“After a successful debut last year which trained over 5,000 kids in Abeokuta, Maiduguri, Owerri and other locations, we are looking forward to welcoming over 2000 kids this year in Abeokuta, Abuja FCT, and Kano, with more locations to be added.
“Our hands-on sessions, DIY kits, and technology labs will empower these young minds with the skills to shape their futures and introduce them to the maker culture. Beyond learning, it’s a space for kids to connect, collaborate, and be inspired together.
“We can’t wait to welcome even more future makers and innovators as we build the future, one child, and one line of code at a time,” Dr. Tijani added.
