2. What is Project ACE?
Project Afterschool Coding Enterprise aims to develop students in terms
of academic achievement, character building, and providing access
to STEM opportunities
The core business of ACE would be teaching students how to solve
problems in life, and this is achieved through coding classes every
Tuesday and Thursday.
We will also be providing a microconsulting aiming to solve problems
that are faced by the school and the communities
