Members are taught the rudiments of major IT applications. In light of these, their skills will be matched; qualities evaluated to enable them compete internationally.
Club members also invited their friends to come play games they developed


ITGEN ICT CLUB ACTIVITIES are tailored towards a particular software application whereby pupils are drilled and equipped with industry standard skills required in our world today. Teaching these skills is seen as a long-term solution to the “skills gap” between the number of technology jobs and the people qualified to fill them. Members are not just taught how to work on a computer, but how a computer works and how to make it work for you and thereby encourage pupils to become creative.
