Today marked the beginning of our Tier 1 content validation workshop, tailored to wow and spark the interest of young girls in high school to pursue careers in data science and artificial intelligence.
The three-day workshop was graciously opened by the University of Nairobi’s Deputy Vice Chancellor, Finance and Planning, Prof. Jackson Maalu. In his speech, Prof. Maalu spoke glowingly about the ENGAGE Project and commended our efforts to expose young girls from underserved communities to market-ready skills for today’s world.
The workshop brings together a rich blend of expertise, featuring professionals from data science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, mathematics, and biology.
In his rallying call, ENGAGE Principal Investigator Prof. Julius Oyugi urged that we deliver content that is palatable for young girls and also demonstrates the real-world viability of data science and AI as tools for solving today’s challenges and building future careers.
