Center for Information Technology, Maths and Physics
Center for Information Technology, Mathematics and Physics(CITMAP) is a not-for-profit organization created in 2007/2008 academic year with main mission to encourage Computer sciences/Information Technology, Mathematics and Physics in secondary schools and increase the number of students offering and passing these subjects at official/University entrance examinations. Passing official/University entrance examinations(like the CGCE) in these subjects is the gateway to increasing the number students that go in for University programs leading to related professions.
Every academic year starting from September/October, CITMAP registers students from secondary institutions in Yaounde and Douala.

The Douala center being the birth place of CITMAP usually registers students from Government Bilingual High School Bonaberi-Douala, Government Bilingual High School Deido-Douala, Government High School New Bell-Douala, Maturite College Douala, Atlantic Bilingual High School Bonaberi-Douala, Government High School Genie Militaire Douala, Government High School Logpong-Douala, National Bilingual College Bonaberi-Douala and others.
Objectives of CITMAP
Our objectives are to:
Increase the number of teens(both female and male) offering Computer Science/ Information Technology, Mathematics and Physics.
Increase the performance of students at the GCE and other similar exams in these subjects.
Create awareness of the great opportunities and career paths provided by these subjects.
Provide a milieu where students from different institutions can collaborate, propose and build innovative projects under mentor-ship.
Provide mentor-ship in physics practicals and computer programming.
Provide Intensive Computer Science/Information Technology, Maths and Physics classes through tutorials.
Create innovative products like Video Training on CD, DVD, and YouTube/Website, Desktop Training Applications, and Android Apps(e.g. H to E SciencePrep) that are distributed to help maximize performance in these subjects across the country and the world at large.
Provide a common center with computing facilities and mentorship so that students(both girls and boys) interested in programming, who can not afford even a second handed desktop, can be sure of having frequent access to a computer for programming practicals and projects.
Organize workshops and forums that will inspire the entire teen community.
