Why?

Where are the callies?

What? This is the shit of code.

We are coding.

We are programming.

So now we are now coming to code the piano.

Have you clicked on the script tab? Hello I'm Bolam Musrall. In the Ghanaian capital Accra 50 young children are glued to computers, their faces lit up by the screens.

This is the Ghana Code Club and there's a buzz in the classroom.

Oh, this is a pretty screen.

Okay, so what's your name? Manuela. Can you describe for me what you're doing here?

Yes we are programming a piano so that it will play and after that we send it to another person online to the

person complete. As technology advances and computer programming starts to

become as familiar as learning ABC in some parts of the world, Africans don't want

their children to be left behind.

So from Kenya to Egypt, Nigeria to South Africa, children are being taught coding. In this BBC World Service

program, the second in our Young Geeky and Black series about black coders, I'll be

meeting the germanes who are striving to make sure girls are part of the coding

revolution.

At the buttons, look on the screen, look.

Uh-huh, good.
