Slamm technologies launches Nimdee App with 11 Ghanaian languages
Nimdee comes from Twi, a Ghanaian language, and means ‘knowledge’, with the App you get learn basic IT skills at the tap of a finger. Each interactive lesson will teach you a new skill from beginners to more experienced professionals
Co-founder of Nimdee App, Franscisca Boateng and Slamm Technologies have launched an app to teach Information Technology(IT) in basic, intermediate and advanced courses in 11 Ghanaian languages.
Nimdee is a free IT training app powered by Slamm Technogies. The Nimdee app provides on demand IT lessons to individuals in Ghana across the world.
The app offers lessons on a range of topics including cyber security, IT fundamentals, social media and PC repairs. These lessons which come in basic, intermediate and advanced are available in 11 languages.
During the launch on Thursday(22 September) at Accra Digital Centre Franscisca Boateng said “We will be dropping the classes on a weekly and monthly basis so that we build up. So if you go there don’t get disappointed when you don’t see all the classes, just download the App, share with somebody, let them get excited and then we will be uploading the videos as time goes on. Go on our website and learn more.”
The App is a robust mobile app with carefully curated course content in video, audio and texts format.
Sheila Naa Boamah, a representative from the Ministry of Education said digital literacy has come to stay and we can’t avoid it anymore.
“From the Ministry of Education we are here to lend our support and see you through this daunting journey. I am very happy to have heard certain words that I was looking out for. The fact that there is a goal, the fact that there is a desire to measure impact and the fact that it is going to be targeted at hard-to-reach areas. These are the things that matter to us.”
“So it is a good idea that we are launching in Accra where all the big and fantastic media houses will spread the news but I hope that you will all take the message to the hard-to-reach areas.”
Language inclusivity
One of the Ghanaian developers of the App, Elikplim Banini has said that the Nimdee App is unique to the African market.
“Our uniqueness here is the representation, so someone in the North will have a course in Dagbani and understand. My grandmother Maria can learn IT in Ewe as well. She started using one of the lessons and I am very happy and proud of her.”
1 Million Campaign
Slamm one million campaign is an initiative started in September 2020, aimed at training 1 million people in Ghana with Information Technology(IT), computer skills and cyber awareness training.
This is targeted at people from all walks of life especially those within the under privileged communities who would originally not have access to basic IT trainings.
