The tutors were selected from schools in the Western and the Brong Ahafo regions. The training is designed to equip the tutors to mentor students for the on-going regional i2CAP (I Too Can Program) competitions. Secondary schools in the Greater Accra, Central, Volta and the Eastern region have already participated. Ruby is a new generation and a dynamic object oriented programming language. It is a useful tool for developing software applications to enhance productivity in the economy. I2CAP is an important dimension to the ICT incubation process in Ghana; it is specially designed to grow programmers from the younger generation to position them as full players in the global knowledge economy. The workshops will be held at the Sunyani Secondary School and Twene Amanfo Secondary Technical School in the Brong Ahafo from 18th-22nd September 2006 and the Ghana Secondary Technical School and Fiaseman Secondary School in the Western region from 2nd-6th October 2006.
