AlmaPario

— Summer Creative Tech Camp ☀️💻

Before school visits… before i3 became a movement…
there was this.
A simple idea: What if we gathered a few young people… and gave them access to creativity + tech?

No long speeches.
Just laptops, internet, guidance… and room to explore.

And wow.
They showed up curious and left confident.

From designing their first websites to exploring digital storytelling,
we watched ideas come alive in real time.
They weren’t just learning new tools
they were discovering new sides of themselves.

That camp?
It reminded us that talent is everywhere
but exposure? That’s the real game-changer.

So when we show up in schools now, it’s not just theory.
We’ve seen what happens when potential meets opportunity.

This is bigger than few weeks.
This is a movement.
And it started right here.

CAC Grammar School, Akure — i3 Campaign Stop 7 📍

There’s something about legacy schools.
You walk in and feel the weight of history
rules, routines, and reverence.

But buried in all that tradition…
were students who felt like they were *still waiting* to catch up with the times.

At CAC Grammar School, it wasn’t that they weren’t smart.
They were.
It’s just that the world around them was moving fast —
and they hadn’t fully *caught the wave*.

Tech still felt distant.
Like something for people “out there.”
Not them.
Not now.

So we started simple.
Not with coding.
But with mindset.

We told them:
“The future doesn’t ask for permission. It’s already happening.”

You want to be a teacher?
Learn how digital learning is changing education.
You want to be a journalist?
Your voice can go global with the right tools.
You want to lead?
You’ll need digital wisdom to serve this generation.

We weren’t there to change their identity
we came to upgrade their perspective.

And something broke open.
Not in a loud way — but in that quiet, thoughtful shift you see behind someone’s eyes.

They got it.
And that’s more than enough to start a fire.

Something is building.
We're not just doing school visits.
We're reworking mindsets and we’re not done yet.

Comfort Tenderfeet College — i3 Campaign Stop 6 📍

Comfort.
That’s the word that came to mind as we walked through the gates.
Not because everything was easy…
but because you could feel it —
this was a school where safety mattered.
Where students were kept within borders.

But sometimes… comfort can become a cage.

The students at Comfort Tenderfeet were brilliant — polite, curious, present.
But when it came to thinking beyond school,
they were a little too settled.

There was a script:
Finish school. Get a job. Maybe do “tech” if it comes your way.
Maybe not.

But here’s the thing
the future won’t wait for maybes.

So we came in to stir the water.
To say,
“You don’t have to abandon your comfort…
but you can’t grow if you stay small.”

We talked about the power of technology —
how it’s not just for coders, but for everyone.
We talked about how the future belongs to those who are willing to learn fast, move smart, and think globally.

And little by little, you could see it…
eyes lighting up,
minds stretching,
walls coming down.

Comfort is good.
But calling is better.
And something tells us
a few giants just woke up quietly in that room.

We’ll be watching.
Because this story? It’s just beginning.🔥

Telnet International School — i3 Campaign Stop 4 📍

Telnet was calm at first… almost too calm 😅
But the moment we started speaking, something shifted.

They knew about tech — the buzzwords, the hype
but they didn’t know how it connects to them.

We broke it down:
No matter what you want to become tech will find you.
And if you ignore it… you just might get left behind 🧠⚙️

We saw it land.
From curiosity 👉🏽 confidence.
From confusion 👉🏽 clarity.

And that’s why we do this.
To plant seeds that grow quietly… but change everything. 🌱

Swipe to the last slide to see the faces behind this mission-
our team, unified and passionate, out here doing the work.❤️

But this isn’t the end. It’s just the beginning.
We’re building something big, and it’s about time YOU get involved.
Stay tuned. More is coming. Trust us.❤️

Breeders College — i3 Campaign Stop 3 📍

This one was different.
At Breeders, they’d heard about tech.
They knew it existed.
Some even wanted to explore it.

But they were stuck.
Torn between what they want…
and what their parents expect them to become.

Doctor. Lawyer. Engineer.
The “safe” options. The familiar dreams.
But inside? Many of them are asking,
“What if there’s more?”

And that’s what we came to confirm.
That yes — there is more.
That it’s okay to dream differently.
That tech isn’t here to cancel their goals, but to expand them.

You want to be a doctor? Tech can make you a better one.
A lawyer? Tech is reshaping law.
A fashion designer? Tech is your next big edge.

We saw the relief in their eyes.
We saw hope rise again.
Because sometimes all a young person needs is permission —
to want something more.

And we’re here to keep giving them that.
One school at a time.

United C.A.C Grammar School — i3 Campaign Stop 2 📍

Different school, same mission.
But United C.A.C Grammar School felt… personal.🔥

We spoke to students who were full of life and potential —
but when it came to tech, they were completely clueless.😪

And we don’t say that to shame them.
We say it because it shocked us.

Even the basic things about technology felt foreign to them.
Things we take for granted every day — they’d never even heard of.

In that moment, it hit us again:
This is why we’re doing this.

Not to make everyone a software engineer —
but to open their eyes to a world that’s shaping everything around them.🔥

We told them the truth:
No matter what you want to become,
tech will meet you there.
And if you ignore it, you’ll get left behind.

They listened. Asked questions. Thought deeply.
And slowly, something shifted. Curiosity started growing.

We left United C.A.C knowing we had planted something.
And trust us…
this is only the beginning.

St. Peter’s Unity Secondary School — i3 Campaign Stop 1 📍

We met them on the assembly ground.
Noise. Sun. Movement. Typical day.
Until the mic came on.

We weren’t there to push everyone into tech.
That’s not the goal.
We just came to say:
“Whatever you choose to become… tech will still find you.”

Because tech isn’t just for coders and developers.
It’s for the fashion designers, the architects, the teachers, the creatives.
It’s the future — and if you don’t understand it, you risk being left behind.

Most of the students had never heard that before.
They listened. Asked honest questions. Thought deeply.
And you could tell — something landed.

We left that school with full hearts…
and a quiet fire in our spirits.

Because this is just the beginning.
We’ve seen the hunger.
We know what’s missing.
And let’s just say — we’re building something.

Something big.
Something for them.
And maybe… something for you, too.

Koretimi joined the Machine Learning Track with prior experience in frontend development using HTML and CSS. What he was truly seeking, though, was the opportunity to channel his curiosity and passion for tech into something more concrete. While he could learn from YouTube videos, he craved more—he wanted guidance, mentorship, and a roadmap to navigate his journey towards tech expertise. 📚💡

His commitment to self-development was undeniable. Koretimi gave his all to every assignment, consistently asking for textbooks and extra resources to go beyond the basics. His punctuality and eagerness to learn stood out, making him a model student throughout the camp. ⏰🎯

By the end of the training, Koretimi had gained valuable skills: he could use Python frameworks to build simple games, collect and visualize data with Jupyter Notebook, and even created a house price calculator using Streamlit! 🖥️💻

But perhaps the most significant takeaway for him was a clear mental roadmap for his tech journey and access to our community of mentors, who will guide and support him as he continues to grow in the tech space. 🌟

At AlmaPario, we believe in the future of young people like Koretimi. With the right tools and support, we know he and other young minds can create innovative solutions and improve upon existing frameworks. 💡✨

We are AlmaPario, and we are here to empower young minds to invent and innovate. 🔑🌍

Feranmi’s journey in the graphics design track at the Summer Creative Camp was nothing short of remarkable. Even though he joined a week late, he brought basic design experience with him, having tried CorelDRAW using an old Windows 8 PC at his dad’s printing press. Spending his afternoons there after school gave him the perfect opportunity to build his knowledge of graphic design—and he certainly didn’t waste it.

Eager to expand his knowledge, Feranmi joined the camp to learn design theory and sharpen his skills with modern tools like Adobe Photoshop. His enthusiasm was unmatched. He absorbed every resource on branding and design, consistently pushing the boundaries. One standout moment was when he went beyond the assigned task, creating not one, but three logo concepts for his team, UltraX.

On the final day of the bootcamp, Feranmi proudly declared that he’s no longer just a designer but an innovative brand strategist in the making. His dedication and intentionality remind us that with the right support and education, the next generation of inventors and innovators can emerge from any corner of the world.

Here’s to Feranmi’s continued success in the creative industry—his journey is just beginning.
