The Explore Tech Project is an Information and Technology based initiative designed by AIESEC Lagos that looks at bringing together interns from different parts of the world and within Lagos that are knowledgeable and experienced in Information and Technology, graphic designing, computational thinking, new media literacy and digital marketing. Working together as international facilitators, interns would undergo trainings with IT companies and NGOs. At the end of their training, they shall impact their acquired skills and knowledge on youths of communities and students of the university by conducting a free IT session and seminar.
