Future Minds AI Summer Camp for Children: Terms and Conditions

Commitment to Child Rights: At Digital Equity Africa, our foundational philosophy is deeply rooted in the unwavering commitment to upholding the fundamental rights of every child, as robustly enshrined in the Child Rights Act (CRA) of Nigeria. We recognize that every child possesses inherent rights to survival, protection, development, and participation, and these principles serve as the guiding light for every aspect of our program. In direct alignment with the spirit and letter of this Act, particularly focusing on the child's paramount right to education, holistic development, and a safe environment, our AI Summer Camp has been meticulously designed. We strive to provide not just an educational experience, but a truly safe, nurturing, and enriching learning environment where curiosity is fostered, and potential is unlocked. We firmly believe in empowering children with essential future-ready skills in Artificial Intelligence, all while profoundly respecting their individual dignity, ensuring their physical and emotional well-being, and promoting their active and joyful participation throughout their entire journey with us. Our dedicated team is committed to creating a space where every child feels valued, protected, and inspired.
