Edufirst.ng kickstarts codefunky 2019 summer camp in Lagos
Nigeria’s foremost online educational platform, Edufirst.ng kicked off this year’s Codefunky 2019 summer camp at Grange Schools, GRA, Ikeja on the 5th of August, 2019.
Unlike last year, Codefunky 2019, is witnessing a mixture of students (day and boarders) from different schools across Nigeria.

This year, campers expect to learn, have fun, network with other intelligent students and to get relevant skills that will be useful to them in the future and organizers in the same vein have put together contents that will make it a very memorable experience for everyone.
The much-anticipated summer camp which has been described by Digital Innovation and creativity Manager of Edufirst.ng, Idris Oladipo as a “summer of learning and fun” rightly got off to a good start.

Campers got introduced to Robotics and 3D printing on the very first day after getting informed about the different programs and objectives of this year’s camp.
The following day, the kids had two mentoring sessions which were facilitated by two industry experts, Tele Williams-Aina, Project Lead at the Digital Republic and Ernest Eguasa, Chief Financial Officer at Jumia Nigeria.

While Tele took the kids on “The leader in you”. Ernest’s session which was on “Financial literacy” was however very practical and filled with a lot of questions as a participant after a participant asked questions especially bothering on savings, spending and income.

Why Mathematics? Learning math is good for your brain.  Research conducted by Dr. Tanya Evans of Stanford University indicates that children who know math are able to recruit certain brain regions more reliably, and have greater gray matter volume in those regions, than those who perform more poorly in math.  The brain regions involved in higher math skills in high-performing children were associated with various cognitive tasks involving visual attention and decision-making.  While correlation may not imply causation, this study indicates that the same brain regions that help you do math are recruited in decision-making and attentional processes. 2. Math helps you tell time.  “I’m late, I’m late for a very important date.” – White Rabbit from the movie Alice in Wonderland.  Don’t let your ignorance of math make you like the White Rabbit!
