Briefs
The gym and the match.
Two kinds of brief, honestly labelled. Client briefs are real, sponsored problems from organisations, with the client judging the work. Training briefs are the practice ground: drawn from real Nigerian problems, built for learning. Open to ages 13 to 35.
Client briefs
Real, sponsored, judged by the clientThe first client briefs arrive with the first sponsored season.
Client briefs are real problems posted by organisations, with prize money and the client on the judging panel. If your organisation has a problem worth fifty young builders' attention, post a brief.
Training briefs
The practice groundCurated practice briefs drawn from real Nigerian problems across 38 sectors. The work, the certificate, and the portfolio entry are real; the client is not waiting on the other end. This is where you train before the match.
