On Friday, July 15, Monrovia Meetup, powered by Techsol concluded the Monrovia CS Academy training in Python Programming and certificated 25 participants after completing a six-month mentorship hands-on learning path that took participants from beginner to advanced level in Python Programming. The goal of the program is to empower participants to launch real-world software applications written in Python to automate processes in agriculture, health, waste management, governance, financial services, etc., to address some of our everyday problems in Liberia.
The participants of the Monrovia CS Academy also pitched their final projects after months of intensive training in Python programming. At the certification program, the four best projects chosen by our profound panel of judges were awarded cash prizes of USD $1,000, USD$750, USD$500, and USD$500 respectively. The first-place winner, Sulaiman Barry created an application to manage event bookings, payment, and ticketing. The second-place winner, Americ Allison created an agricultural solution that enables farmers to sell their products to consumers. The third-place winner, Vermon Washington, created a one-stop solution for small businesses to manage all of their internal processes such as invoices, receipts, and quotations free of charge. The fourth-place winner, Jerome Tokpa created a job board application that facilitates the employment process for both employers and employees.
We congratulate our first batch of graduates and send our profound thanks to our partbers and sponsors for their support of the Monrovia CS Academy. The CS Academy is sponsored by Orange Digital Center, Orange Liberia, and Routine Solution.
