The summer which began on July 24 and ended September 2 trained over 50 teenagers and youths on Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics education.
Adiwu said the centre was not a training institute but his passion to develop the potential of the children motivated him to carry out the exercise which was done free of charge.
He said his passion was to expose the children to science, technology engineering, mathematics and robotics by employing experts to engage them.
Several teenagers and youths were trained in robotics and were presented with certificates, while some of them demonstrated what they have learnt in robotics.
Also speaking at the event, Babatunde Bamigboye, Head, Legal Enforcement and Regulation,The Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) also warned Nigerians especially teenagers against sharing personal information on the internet.
Bamigboye who represented, the Director General of the commission, Dr Vincent Olatunji said Nigerians should be wary of putting all their data on the internet.
