The University of Western Cape in partnership with a South African IT Company Gijima are working together to improve the IT skills of the youth.


They are currently hosting an initiative called Code Jam where students are learning to develop their own mobile applications.


Spokesperson Basha Pillay says they aim to give the students the skills to be able to create and programme their own applications.


About hundred students are expected to compete and the best fifteen will present their applications to a panel of judges today.


Pillay added that they will be judges on different categories.
