This event is a Africa wide event that rotates to different African countries every year, with a total of 11 yearly events since its inception. The event. This year’s event in Dedan Kimathi University DeKut has representation from about 28 different countries.

The event is modelled as a 3 day summer school and a 2 day workshop.  The focus of the summer school is to expose students on state of the art Artificial Intelligence models and theory behind the models. This year’s focus has been on generative Artificial Intelligence, natural language processing and Edge AI . Students have to apply for the summer school. For the workshop, experts in the field give Keynotes and research on the work they are doing and encourage discussions around collaboration. Dr. Lilian Wanzare from Maseno University is one of the keynote speakers expected during the 2 day workshop.

Maseno University Master of Science in Computer Science students applied and were selected to take part in the summer school. We congratulate our students for the effort they put into completing the rigorous application process and being recognized as among the top cream in the field.
