The rapid evolution of computing in the last century has transformed our world. Industries in every field are becoming more and more productive and efficient. The UN highlights the critical role of science, technology and innovation in achieving the Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs).SDG goals cannot be achieved without the effective, appropriate, and inclusive application of science,technology, and innovation. Tjoa (2016) also highlights the enormous potential of ICT to accomplish the SDGs, which cover the three dimensions of economic prosperity, social equity and environmental sustainability in 2030. Adding that no other domain in the recent past had such a strong influence on the development of countries and societies than information and communication technologies (ICTs), especially in driving today’s innovation, efficiency and effectiveness across all sectors. The proposed programme intends to address SDG4 (Quality education) and 9 (Generating employment and income through innovation).
