What you will submit

A link to your public content series (e.g., Instagram profile, TikTok account, YouTube playlist) AND a written reflection document (Google Docs or similar) with screenshots.

What to do, step by step

  1. Choose a niche you are passionate about (e.g., Nigerian food recipes, phone photography tips, small business marketing, fashion on a budget). Plan a 7-day content series around this niche, outlining themes for each day.
  2. Create and publish at least 5 pieces of content (videos, photos with captions, short written posts) for your chosen niche over 7 consecutive days. You MUST use your phone for all filming and editing. Post these on a public platform like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or YouTube.
  3. Engage with your audience: Respond to comments, ask questions, and try to get at least 5 genuine comments or shares on your content during the 7 days.
  4. Write a short reflection (200-300 words) on what you learned. Discuss what went well, what challenges you faced (e.g., 'My data finished!', 'The light was bad!'), and what you would do differently next time. Include screenshots of your published content and audience engagement.

How it is graded

CriterionWeight
Content Quality & Relevance (Is it useful/interesting to Nigerians?)30%
Consistency & Effort (Did you post at least 5 times over 7 days?)25%
Audience Engagement (Did you get comments/shares and respond?)25%
Reflection & Learning (Did you show understanding of challenges and growth?)20%

You need 70% overall to pass. A failed submission comes back with feedback and can be revised and resubmitted.

Before you submit: make your link public

If your work lives in Google Drive or Google Docs, open Share → General access and change “Restricted” to “Anyone with the link” (Viewer). Then paste the link into a private browser window: if it opens without sign-in, you are ready. A private link cannot be graded — it is the single most common reason a good project fails.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to finish Content Creation before submitting the project?

Yes. The submission screen opens once every lesson in Content Creation is marked complete. The lessons are where the methods, the Nigerian context and the worked examples the project depends on are taught.

How is the project graded?

An examiner scores each rubric criterion from 0 to 100 and weights them as shown on this page; you need 70% overall to pass. Most submissions are graded within minutes and you get written feedback on what was strong and what to improve.

Can I resubmit if I fail?

Yes. A failed project comes back with feedback; revise the weak parts and resubmit. A passed project is final — the certificate is issued and cannot be re-rolled.

What do I actually submit?

A write-up of what you did (under 5,000 characters) plus a public link to your work — a Google Drive folder, Google Doc, spreadsheet, GitHub repository or video. The link must open without sign-in; a private link cannot be graded. The free project workbook on this page walks you through all 4 steps.

Is the certificate real?

Yes. Passing this project issues a certificate with a unique verification code. Anyone — an employer, a client, a school — can open the verification page and see that the certificate is genuine and which project earned it.
