It is anticipated that 1,500 pupils from 150 schools in three locations, Owerri, Maiduguri, and Abeokuta will participate in the four-day event in January 2024.
The ministry announced the call for applications from prospective teachers on Thursday via X.
The ministry went on to say that the ideal applicants would be forward-thinking instructors, visionaries, and enthusiasts who could mentor secondary school students who would be the next wave of tech pioneers.
Candidates that meet the requirements may apply on the program’s website.
