- Abstract
This paper describes the i2CAP project for senior high school students in Ghana. The project promotes and demystifies computer programming through programming contests. It is run in two distinct divisions: inter-schools programming contests and the National Olympiad in Informatics (in preparation towards IOI participation). This project has developed the algorithmic thinking and computer programming capacity of about 10,000 students and 303 ICT teachers from 257 senior high schools throughout the Ghana. This paper describes selection, training and organization of the project as well as the challenges and successes of running a fairly balanced programming contest among digital divided senior high schools in Ghana.
