Olushola Ogunkelu
To make computing education accessible across under-resourced communities in Nigeria, Olushola Ogunkelu founded The Coding Clubhouse - an initiative focused not only on teaching coding, but also on building confidence, computational thinking, creativity, and practical skills that learners can carry forward. She equips young learners with the tools to build sustainable livelihoods and dream beyond perceived limits: “The hacker community is a gift that keeps giving, and through The Coding Clubhouse, I am passing that gift on to others.” Olushola did not just create her own path into technology - she paved the road so others could follow in her footsteps.
