Abstract

The NaijaCoder in-person summer camps are intensive programs for high school and pre-college students in Nigeria. The programs are meant to provide free instruction on the basics of algorithms and computer programming. In 2024, the camps were held in two locations within the country: (i) the Federal Capital Territory (F.C.T.), Abuja; and (ii) Lagos state. Both locations relied on the same set of notes for instructional purposes. We are providing these notes in a publicly-available medium for both students and teachers to review after the main in-person programs are over.
