As the culminating experience of the Teens Leadership and Tech Training Program, the Capstone Project challenges participants to apply their newly acquired skills in leadership, critical thinking, and technology to solve real-world problems. Working in small teams, teens identify a pressing issue in their community – ranging from education access to environmental sustainability – and design innovative tech-based solutions such as mobile apps, websites, digital campaigns, or prototypes powered by tools like AI, robotics, or Internet of Things (IoT). Each team follows a structured project  management approach, incorporating empathy-driven research, goal setting, and agile development techniques to bring their ideas to life.
Throughout the project, teens take on leadership roles – such as project manager, tech lead, or communications strategist – rotating responsibilities to build teamwork and decision-making capacity. The program culminates in a demo day, where participants pitch their solutions to a panel of mentors, stakeholders, and peers. This experience not only sharpens their technical and entrepreneurial abilities but also instills confidence, resilience, and a sense of purpose, preparing them to be proactive changemakers in a digital world.

Testimonials

Good day everyone, my name is Aisha Shafau and I am participant of the Lead the Way program. I feel like this program’s activities will have the most impact on my life in the coming years; with modules on Self identity, leadership and ethics and moral values, I feel like I have truly learnt something valuable. In the past I have found it hard to find out how to make a path toward my future and even identify who I really am, but now I understand myself completely. I am proud to say that I have even made goals and visions towards what I want to be. The most impactful part was the community change project. As a person who regularly gives to charity I was very happy to be able to talk to children and parents about school and give out school materials. It was very insightful to me and I learnt many lessons that day. I would just like to say that I greatly enjoyed this program and I am so happy that I have actually gained from it, thank you very much for this opportunity

Aisha Shafau Greesnsprings School

The Lead the Way program provided me with a confidence booster and a unique learning experience. The course was extremely funny and informative and gave rise to various pair discussions.

Fareedah Onigbanjo Greensprings School

The LEAP Africa Program has helped me to discover a lot about myself and given me closure about the doubts I had about the Future. I will leave this program a more confident version of myself not letting anything I learned in this program go to waste, casting away the shell of my former self, this program also helped me realize that I need to work towards a leadership position and will not be born into it, working with people wasn’t always my strong suit because I always had problems talking to other people but the program helped me to be aware of my strength and my weaknesses so I can make a foundation on them also the ability to create a team of people that complement our strengths and weaknesses.

Ajibola Ewete Greensprings School

The LEAD THE WAY program helped me to discover who I and have more confidence in myself and take control of my life, during the course, I learned that being a leader is not determined by age or your state in life.
