There are increasingly new opportunities for technological growth, inspiration, empowerment, and learning that is continuing across the continent of Africa. WordCamp conferences are a strong source of knowledge, information, inspiration, cooperation, and collaboration. In 2024 there have been multiple technology conferences provided across Central Africa and many of them are directed at youth, teens and young adults.
These future technologists are the future of African digital influences and career creation that will support Africa as a global leader. WordCamps are great opportunities for Africans to be members of an international network that has been established 20 years ago. WordPress is software filled with digital templates to help people create websites. In its previous history there was a great deal of Backend and Frontend coding and programming, applying HTML coding, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), Java Script integration and other elements. Because of the growth of no coding elements this has started and influenced the adaptation of no coding or very little coding development and creativity.
In 2023 there have been multiple WC conferences, WC Entebbe, WC Uganda, WC Nairobi, WC Kenya, WC Kampala, WC Jinja, and WC Masaka. These growing opportunities are building digital natives that are raising Africa to be respected, admired and feared because of Africa's status of the youngest continent on the planet and also the hungriest to grow as leaders, artists, innovators, creators and influencers not just in sports and entertainment, but in digital powerful ecosystems and immersive environments.
