As schools across the country prepare for the long vacation, SQI College of ICT has announced the commencement of its 2026 Summer School, introducing a technology-driven holiday programme designed to equip children with practical digital skills and prepare them for an AI-powered future.
The two-month programme, scheduled to run from August 3 to September 4, 2026, is targeted at children between the ages of 8 and 12 and will be held across the institution’s campuses in Ogbomoso, Ibadan, Abeokuta, Osogbo, Abuja and Lagos.
A major highlight of this year’s edition is the introduction of AI Mixer Labs, a learning track that combines Artificial Intelligence with hands-on technology projects to help children learn, create, build and innovate.
According to the college, the programme was designed to move beyond traditional computer lessons by exposing children to technologies shaping the future while encouraging creativity, collaboration and problem-solving.
Participants will receive practical training in AI App Development, Coding, Graphics Design, Animation, Prompt Engineering, Video and Podcast Production, Game Development, and project-based learning that culminates in a Demo Day where learners showcase their work.
The institution explained that the curriculum allows children to explore Artificial Intelligence in an age-appropriate manner while developing the confidence to build digital solutions rather than merely consume technology.
“Our goal is to help young learners become creators, innovators and problem-solvers. We believe every child should have the opportunity to understand how technology works and how they can use it to solve real-life challenges,” the college said.
Beyond technical instruction, the programme places emphasis on collaboration, creativity and innovation through practical classroom activities led by experienced instructors.
SQI College of ICT noted that participants will work on real projects throughout the programme, enabling them to gain practical experience in designing applications, creating digital content, developing games and producing multimedia projects.
The institution added that exposing children to emerging technologies at an early age helps develop analytical thinking, logical reasoning, communication skills and digital confidence—qualities that are increasingly valuable in today’s technology-driven world.
Parents were also assured of a safe and engaging learning environment where children are encouraged to experiment, ask questions and build solutions in collaboration with their peers.
Successful participants will receive certificates of participation upon completion of the programme.
The Summer School will run from Monday to Friday over a period of two months at a fee of ₦70,000.
The institution encouraged parents to register early, noting that spaces are limited.
