I am a divergent technology enthusiast, born with the heart of a nomad and WordPress saved me from roaming the internet 9+ years ago by giving me a voice of my own which I use freely on my blogs. Hence, it isn't a surprise that I love WordPress & backpacking, right? I am building WPSlay for SMEs with WordPress websites needing support and maintenance, Gbefunwa for hosting WordPress websites, and a co-living community in Lagos, NGA in the works. I work full-time at Stranger Studios, makers of the powerful PMPro membership plugin for WordPress websites. I volunteer for Uwani Hub and the African WordPress community in my spare time.

Kids Camp

Kids And Parents Invited To WordCamp Lagos City!

WordCamp parents can now usher in the next generation of WordPress builders at our first KidsCamp! We are encouraging parents and guardians to bring their kids to WordCamp Lagos City! Parents and guardians can now grab a ticket (only 20 tickets available) for their children ages 7 to 14 on the ticket page. If you want to bring along your teenager, we have got you covered, get your teen an adult ticket (15 slot only available for teens at the kidscamp). We are finalising plans and some surprises now. Here’s what you can expect:

– On Saturday (March 10th), if your child is new to publishing on the web we will have a workshop devoted to teaching children with their parents how to safely and securely publish content on the web with WordPress.

– We will be devoted to introducing coding to the young ones, starting with basic concepts with the goal of allowing them to edit their WordPress site/blog.

Lunch will be provided, however if your child has a special diet please bring something just in case.

Here is a little video of what WordCamp Miami did to give you a feel for what KidsCamp will be like:

Please stay tuned for additional updates and we are looking forward to seeing you in March!

Disclaimer: Interested WordPress parents or guardians will need to have a ticket for Saturday attendance purchased before signing up their junior creators. Parents will be responsible for staying with their child during KidsCamp, but may switch guardians during the course of the day if you are both attending. Each child will need his or her own laptop to work on. We are not providing daycare services at this time.
