Hello Everyone,  We are excited to share some apps developed by newbie Android programmers from our recently concluded study jams series.  The developers of these apps are also cc'ed in the email. Most of them are either in their 2nd or 3rd year in the university with little or no previous backgroud in programming.

Ayoola Oluwatosin  -a.k.a Otunba (Left), a 400 level student of Electrical Electronics Engineering, and  Ayodele Oluwaseyi  (Right), a 200 level student of Computer Science in Ekiti State University;   participated in the 2015 Android Fundamentals Study Jams and built  Q-Basic For Beginners  and Catholic Prayer Guide  which was reviewed amongst other over 50 submitted  apps from across Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and selected as a high-quality  app made during the Study Jams series in SSA for the 2015 series.  They both won Udacity Android nano-degree scholarship worth USD$ 2,388 (equivalent to 0.7 Million Naira ) each from Google. The “scholarship” grants them access to the course for one year, so there should be enough time to finish off and be certified. Also, Udacity currently runs a career advisor program that provides immediate employment to users. These two (2) are already on their way to achieving a great milestone in their programming career.
