Hapy Write code in Hausa

Hapy is installed using Pip which comes with Python 

$ pip install hapy

Congratulations! Hapy is now installed on your system. We're working on writing documentation for the language. But in the meantime you can play around with in in the editor and see examples on our github page.

About Hapy

          

            Hapy is a simple programming language for Hausa kids to learn
            Computational Thinking (CT). CT is a basic skill like literacy and
            numeracy and is made up of sub-skills such as abstraction,
            problem-solving, decomposition, and pattern recognition which are
            easily acquired through practice in programming. Unfortunately,
            most programming languages are in English, meaning those
            without at least a basic understanding of English are often
            discouraged from it. This is evident in Northern Nigeria which has
            some of the lowest literacy levels in the country.
          


          

            With Hapy, students whose primary language is Hausa can learn the
            basics of programming and Computational Thinking. In addition,
            students gain a formative introduction to high-level programming
            languages such as Python to which Hapy compiles. Hapy can be used on
            the command-line or online. It supports basic features like loops,
            functions, variables, and classes.
          


          
History of Hapy

          

            Hapy was created as a final school project in the Fall of 2021 by 3
            coursemates and friends; Emmanuel Segun-Lean, Shugaba Wuta and
            Victor Alumma all students of the American University of Nigeria.
