The Ctrl+Sht+Del project aims to boost computer awareness and train participants in basic computer use. It is a 4-week program that will introduce participants from the Makoko community in Lagos to Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and email through practical tutorials and exercises. The project hopes to stamp out phobias around computer use and drive interest in using computers to assist with everyday educational tasks. It also aims to empower participants with computer skills and inspire them to teach others.

Ctrl+Sht+Del

3. INTRODUCTION
 The invention of the computer has become very instrumental to the
world. This avails one to carry out several tasks all in one location.
Depending on what it is been used for, It facilitates speed and
accuracy for its users.
 The use of computers has also enabled humans to create one of
the most valuable innovations of all time- the internet. This platform
gives access to a wide range of opportunities and resources that is
available just at the ‘click of a button’ by the use of a computer.
 It is for this reason that the TECHMOB team has created an initiative
to help boost the awareness and train participants on the basic use
of a computer. It is in doing this we hope to see that people can
take interest in computers to ease their everyday task.

4. WHY THE “CTRL+SHT+DEL ” PROJECT
 Research has shown that amongst the less than 40% of the world’s
population that have access to computers, over 80% of that
population do their best to avoid using it. And when they do, its
capabilities are underused. That notwithstanding, the
advancement of technology in the world is being done with the
use of computers or computer operated machines. A greater
number of Nigerians are very skeptical about using computers in
carry out task. This is due to several reasons, some of which are;
they don’t believe it is affordable, it is perceived to be complicated
or even because they have simply never been introduced to it.

5. WHY THE “CTRL+SHT+DEL ” PROJECT
 This social issue creates a problem if we are to improve
the state of our education in Nigeria, as the use of
computers gives us access to global information
relevant for a better standard of education and
knowledge.

that gives its target audience an opportunity to learn the
