Yango is definitely in the game. I had the opportunity to mentor participants of the Zindi challenge “Accra mobility prediction challenge” powered by Yango. It was such an exciting opportunity to see #AI enthusiasts in Ghana show off their skills in building machine learning #models to solve a problem in the Transport sector. I also had the opportunity to meet like minded individuals and teams from different universities in Ghana- University of Ghana Ashesi University Ghana Telecom Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi Academic City University College. Not leaving out institutions such as my company Blossom Academy making influence by training Underemployed and unemployed by giving them in demand skills such as #data analytics and #data science. I also met some found new friends at Yango and the communications industry Bennet Otoo and Nadia Oppong. It was great meeting you all. Also, to my vice president of Divas in AI , I say thank you for inviting me for this program. Deborah Arthur . I also met this awesome individual who is transforming and driving the agenda “bridge gender gap”. Hiqmat Sungdeme S. is a very strong individual with creative ideas to bridge the gender gap in AI. To all the teams that won, congratulations, don’t settle for less. Gradually Ghanaians are becoming the most ready for AI and we can do more if we don’t relax. It was a great one, kudos to organizers.

The much anticipated Zindi X Google adversarial nibbler challenge prompt hacking event was held in Osun state, Nigeria and yes it was a success🥳🥳. Special thanks to Zindi and Google for this amazing collaboration. It turned out to be an enlightening session. Special appreciation goes to Laju Etchie (MBA) ✅, a responsible AI community engagement manager at Google and the main speaker for the event. I must mention it was very great organizing the event with Zindi community coordinator Rose Delilah Gesicho and fellow Zindi ambassadors Oswald O., Michael Ajiboye and Greatness O. Most importantly we got amazing feedback from attendees which was very satisfying.
