The flyer for the seminar
Our objective of empowering the youth with skills in tech; how to code, for that matter, met the young men of the computer science society for their own dedicated session.
In my last post I mentioned the reason why we are having a separate session of the same thing for ladies and for the young men. The reason is that, the ladies would not show up for a sessions of seminars like this if it’s opened to all unless it’s for them alone. Because the campus has a male majority, such seminars mostly have the males dominating leaving the females in a not-so-comfortable state as the field is already perceived as a patriarchal.
Because of that there is a need for us to have separate sessions of the same thing for the ladies and the young men.
On 4th March, as mentioned in my last post about the web development seminar, we started with the young men.
They were taken through an overview of software development; the broad aspects of it, the technologies involved, different programming languages and their application areas.
After that more light was shed on web development, the different aspects of it, and what they need to know to become full stack developers. Light was shed on the different aspects of web development; web designer, web developer(frontend and backend), and database administrator.
With frontend, they were taken through the different technologies involved from the basics such as HTML & CSS, to libraries and frameworks such as REACT JS, and so on.
With backend, technologies such as PHP and its library, laravel were introduced to them. NodeJS was also introduced to them.
When it comes to database, they were made aware of Microsoft SQL and the broad family of anything that has SQL in it.
This particular seminar was an introductory session for the series of sessions we would be having. Since the participants are all newbies to coding, it was very crucial that we take them through an introductory session of the software development life cycle.
The sessions are meant to take place every Saturday and Sunday for both the ladies and the young mens’ but due to certain circumstances the young mens’ session would not coming off on 5th.
Every Saturday there would be two separate sessions. Thus ladies session and the guys’ session. And same on Sunday.
In all I would say everything has been moving smoothly so far, and we pray it continues to be like that.

These were just introductory sessions.
I would be sharing our progress and shedding more light on our key milestones and achievements as we have them.

This is a great way to help equip we the students. thanks for sharing
Great job on organizing the web development seminar and taking the initiative to empower the youth with skills in tech! It's impressive to see that you're making efforts to ensure maximum participation from both male and female students by having separate sessions for each group. It's also commendable that you started with an introductory session for newbies to coding and plan to have weekly sessions going forward. It wil be great if we can organise one and use it as an avenue to introdouce the youths to Hive.
Thanks for acknowledging our efforts and taking time to read about our project.
Of course, we’re thinking about it and planning how we’re going to promote and introduce Hive to them.
We would make sure to share it here when we figure something out.
Thanks so much for the support
