ocieties will die if they don’t continue to innovate and think beyond the box.”

Our mission is to “train young people who can transform the society and create greater job opportunities through information, communication and digital technology,” the CEO said.

According to Glory Tani, the Manager of the Center, “Computer Science is a noble profession without which today’s world would come to a complete halt. Computer Science has made the whole world a very small place, available at your fingertips now and it is time for us to embrace it.”
