Thanks for being part of the SLinT Tech Expo 2025. To our guest and keynote speakers, volunteers, and esteemed guests, thanks for gracing this occasion. Stay engaged!

So what? What are you committing to today? #SLinTTechExpo2025

Thanks Gad and Thaakat Foundation for the impressive work in Sierra Leone. #SLinTTechExpo2025

Be proactive on embracing AI and emerging technologies. Take a prompt engineering course no matter your trained industry. Learn how to build AI agents. Instead of fighting with the AI wave, accept it and be open to it. You’d be proud you did! #SLinTTechExpo2025

Key: always ask how we can scale AI, overcoming fear of AI and embracing it as the future to speed impact. Embrace it, use it, and that makes all the difference. #SLinTTechExpo2025

Focus on operationalizing AI and training it on an individual level and personal use cases. Prompt engineer and train your model and over time, users will get comfortable with the tool. #SLinTTechExpo2025

“Don’t waste time or be scared of AI. The future is people who are effective in using AI to drive the right outcome, checking for cultural sensitivity and company brand and tone; completing hours of work in shorter time. #SLinTTechExpo2025

Create blueprint and architectures that are used by millions of people globally, transcending language barriers. With proper requirements, developers without formal language proficiencies can execute and deliver high quality work. Code knows no bounds! #SLinTTechExpo2025

To prepare our youth in Africa to compete well in global scale, they must be trained in soft skills so that can better understand client expectations, and deliverables. Now more than ever, African youth are ready but we all must continue to support them #SLinTTechExpo2025

EdTech for economic mobility: there are lot of youth in Africa who are ready to take on digital assignments - build faster and of high quality. This gives them opportunities to advance and enhance their skills, further creating more jobs for others. #SLinTTechExpo2025

“Imagine students having access to relevant content localized in languages that they can understand and using cultural examples that they can relate with + have these resources powered by AI trained with cultural sensitivity.” - @tambalamin #SLinTTechExpo2025

“Students need the ability to apply key learnings from classrooms and have opportunities to play with tech tools and make mistakes. This way, they get comfortable with tech devices,” and expose them to teach others, reinforcing learning.” #SLinTTechExpo2025

EdTech solutions: schools using WhatsApp to deliver professor lecture slides and access to public exam results via text messages. When thinking of EdTech systems, think beyond formal systems and e-learning platforms! #SLinTTechExpo2025

Small steps to advance EdTech in Africa: support kids with exposure to tech devices, invest in having teachers trained and empowered, emphasize the use of blended approach to learning - first person support and offer self-guided learning pathways. #SLinTTechExpo2025

SESSION: EdTech Roundtable: “Reimagining Education in Africa: EdTech for Inclusive Learning and Growth” #SLinTTechExpo2025

Advice for young girls wanting to to get into STEM: You are STEM and you belong in the room. Professional men and women, find a girl to mentor. “Mentor one, sponsor one, advocate for one” #SLinTTechExpo2025

Despite girls being great in Mathematics and Science, not many are encouraged to enter and power through STEM. Most dropping out are coz of lack of confidence for being the only girls (or girls of colors) in their classes. Mentors are key. #SLinTTechExpo2025
