Empowering 650+ Ghanaians Through Digital Skills: WondaByte’s Experience at the Ghana Digitour Project 2024

In 2024, Ghana took another bold step toward strengthening its digital economy through the Ghana Digitour Project, a nationwide initiative focused on equipping young people and entrepreneurs with future-ready digital skills.

At the heart of this transformation was Wonder Dorgloh, Founder and CEO of WondaByte Technologies, who served as a Lead Web Development Facilitator, contributing technical expertise, instructional leadership, and innovative training methodologies that helped shape the success of the program.

Under his facilitation, over 350 participants were trained in website development, contributing to a broader impact of 650+ beneficiaries who acquired practical digital skills within an intensive five-day training period.

As the Founder of WondaByte Technologies, Wonder Dorgloh brought years of experience in web development, digital training, and technology education into the Ghana Digitour Project 2024. His role extended beyond teaching code — it involved designing learning experiences that ensured clarity, inclusion, and real-world application for participants with diverse backgrounds.

Drawing on WondaByte’s training philosophy, he emphasized:

  • Practical, job-ready web development skills

  • Hands-on learning over theory-heavy instruction

  • Adaptability in low-connectivity environments

  • Confidence-building for first-time digital learners

This leadership approach ensured that participants not only understood what they were learning but could immediately apply it.

Training Impact: 350+ Web Developers in 5 Days

Within the five-day training window, participants under Wonder Dorgloh’s facilitation learned and practiced:

  • HTML, CSS, and basic JavaScript fundamentals

  • WordPress website development and customization

  • Offline CMS setup using Local by Flywheel

  • Responsive web design principles

  • Website structure, content strategy, and SEO basics

By the end of the program, many participants had built and deployed functional websites, including personal portfolios, small business websites, and tourism-related platforms — a major milestone for learners new to web development.


Applying Active Pedagogy: A WondaByte Training Approach

A defining feature of the Ghana Digitour Project 2024 was the application of Active Pedagogy, a learner-centered approach strongly aligned with WondaByte Technologies’ training model.

Under Wonder Dorgloh’s facilitation, Active Pedagogy was used to:

  • Encourage learning by doing, not passive listening

  • Promote peer collaboration and teamwork

  • Use real-world projects as learning anchors

  • Create a safe environment for experimentation and questions

This methodology significantly improved engagement and comprehension, enabling participants with no prior coding experience to grasp complex concepts within a short timeframe.


Overcoming Infrastructure Challenges Through Innovation

Recognizing connectivity challenges in some training locations, Wonder Dorgloh introduced offline-first learning tools, particularly Local by Flywheel, allowing participants to build WordPress websites without constant internet access.

This problem-solving approach reflected WondaByte’s core philosophy:
technology education must adapt to local realities to be truly effective.


Partnership That Made It Possible

The success of the Ghana Digitour Project 2024 was made possible through the vision and coordination of Simplon Africa and Mobile Web Ghana, whose commitment to digital inclusion, youth empowerment, and innovation continues to shape Ghana’s digital ecosystem.

Their collaboration with experienced facilitators like Wonder Dorgloh ensured that training delivery met both global standards and local needs.


Reflections from the Founder of WondaByte Technologies

For Wonder Dorgloh, facilitating the Ghana Digitour Project 2024 was a reaffirmation of WondaByte’s mission — using technology education to create opportunity, confidence, and economic empowerment.

The experience demonstrated that with the right methodology, mentorship, and tools, young Ghanaians can rapidly transition from digital beginners to capable creators. It also reinforced the importance of founder-led participation in national digital initiatives, where leadership and hands-on involvement directly influence impact.
