Teesas Education, an impact-driven edTech company, is set to light up the summer for children aged between eight and 18 with a transformative learning experience that blends academics with creativity and innovation.

Running across two engaging cohorts from July 21 to August 8, and 11 to 28, participants will learn foundational tech and vocational skills, including coding, generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), as well as phone and tablet repairs, while creativity will also flourish through aerobics, animation and graphic design classes.

Every child will undergo a pre-assessment to identify academic gaps, followed by customised tutoring and continuous computer-based testing for senior secondary school students to get them acquainted with the examination formats of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).

Encouraging parents not to let the holidays be another wasted summer of missed opportunities, Chairman and Founder of Teesas Education, Osayi Izedonmwen, described the programme as a launch pad for tomorrow’s entrepreneurs, innovators, and changemakers.

“What sets our summer school apart is a series of entrepreneurship-focused activities specially designed for teenagers. They will gain skills to develop business ideas, and the summer school will culminate in a real-world pitch to business leaders, including one who has built two billion-dollar companies, for the chance to receive start-up capital,” Izedonmwen said.

Character and leadership development skills, which have been identified as pivotal to the future of work, will also take centre stage with winning lessons from “The seven habits of happy kids” and “The seven habits of highly effective teens.”
