On September 27, our team had the opportunity to visit New Generation Technical High School, an important occasion to connect with enthusiastic students eager to explore the intersection of technology and their future careers.

Welcoming and Introduction

Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the school director, who introduced us to the students and explained the purpose of our visit. We took the opportunity to introduce ourselves and share our mission.

Presentation of the Free Tech Project

Guy Eudes, the monitoring and evaluation officer, presented FREE TECH and its mission to the students. He explained that FREE TECH INSTITUTE is a Burundian non-governmental organization focused on entrepreneurship based on new information and communication technologies. Our vision is to transform Burundian society. The project, titled “Digital Inclusion for Secondary School Youth through Digital Technology,” was introduced to the students. Guy emphasized our goal of teaching them general computer skills, how to market themselves and their work, and providing them with essential foundations for their future, whether they continue their studies or not. We aim to help them seize scholarship opportunities and inspire them to pursue their aspirations.

Discussion on the Center and Opportunities

Advaxe, responsible for professional guidance, spoke about the center and the services we offer. He provided the address of the center, explaining that it is a place where students can learn, enhance their computer skills, and boost their potential while encouraging young girls to engage with technology.

Advaxe engaged the students by asking about their fields of study and their future aspirations. He explained how they could facilitate their academic work through technology while also equipping themselves for the future as they prepare to leave school. He highlighted that our training program is not only educational but also competitive, as it involves multiple schools and the best initiatives could receive professional support. Those who do not receive support will still earn a certificate.

He emphasized that there are many scholarship opportunities available online to continue their studies, and using the internet is a reliable source of information compared to seeking advice from others, which carries the risk of receiving inaccurate or incomplete information.

Conclusion

The visit to New Generation Technical High School was a valuable opportunity to inspire young minds and encourage them to embrace technology as a tool for their future. By providing them with the skills and resources they need, we are contributing to a new generation of innovators ready to tackle the challenges of tomorrow!
