Organizing Conferences For Learners: How we did it in Namibia
summary
Organizing a Namibia school conference called Computer Day runs as a one- or two-day program with talks, poster and software demos, and full-day Python and girls-led workshops; volunteers train a handful of confident students to coach peers, then borrow laptops and university labs to run sessions. Funding targets are explicit: fundraising to supply 15–20 school PCs per school. Practical notes: deploy behaviour coaches, decorate for kids, pre-vet talks for age-appropriate content, and measure success by student projects, university entry guidance and increased interest in computing careers.
