Meet Mr. Lawrence Kasera! Mr. Kasera has been with us on this journey that leads to introducing data science, artificial intelligence and machine learning to high school girls beginning tomorrow. Hear more about his expectations ahead of training:

We are ready to take data science, AI & machine learning to high school girls! Read the recap of our recently concluded ToT, which was closed by Prof Kerubo, the Dean Faculty of Sciences and Technology at the @uonbi exclusively on our website; shorturl.at/BNIiR

Prof. Oyugi urged the trainers to break these concepts down and mentor the girls to step into this field with the confidence that they belong and that they can thrive. We look forward to the beginning of this exciting journey.
