2 years later, our first cohort of MSc in Artificial Intelligence students graduates today! 🎓
When we started this programme, I received a TWAS Seed Grant for New African Principal Investigators (SG-NAPI) @TWASnews , which enabled me to sponsor four students.
Today, the programme admits over 15 students every year.
What a milestone! Congratulations to our first cohort, and to everyone who has contributed to building this programme 🎉

What a week!
The physical Data Science Africa event returned to Uganda after 10 years, bringing together participants from across Africa and beyond. The map says it all—our community continues to grow in reach and diversity.
While Uganda hosted a virtual edition in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was truly special to welcome the community in person once again.
A heartfelt thank you to all the participants, speakers, volunteers, partners, and the outstanding organising committee who made the week such a success.
Above all, I am grateful to God Almighty for making it all possible.

This week, I had the privilege of participating in the Women in Leadership Training organized by hersea.org/ at @MbararaUST
We often don’t realize what we’re missing until we surround ourselves with inspiring leaders and colleagues who challenge our thinking, share their experiences, and encourage us to see new possibilities.
Leadership is not just about leading institutions. It is about creating environments where others can grow, thrive, and contribute to meaningful change.
Thank you, HERS-EA and Busitema University, for an inspiring and enriching learning experience.
“You are not only shaping higher education. You are reshaping the world.”

Dr. Godliver from @BusitemaUni says that the use of AI is growing so rapidly, yet not so many exports are in the market. This was her view as she explained the need to "Bridge the AI knowledge Gap in our Communities".

Dr. Godliver from @BusitemaUni says that Ugandans are not even using AI that much, yet it has a lot it can make better. In her analysis, Dr. Godliver says that Ugandans might be using about 5% of AI's potential or less.

AI has been with us for quite a long time, but it is only until now that people have been more deliberate about what AI can do. There is so much AI can do.
