Mandela Week Sensitization Event
During Mandela week at The Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology (NM-AIST), I had an opportunity to inspire young girls to pursue science, engineering, technology and innovation. The event aimed at encouraging exploration with technology, promote self-confidence and support aspiration to technical careers. The audience of the event was girls from different secondary schools at Arusha-Tanzania. The event explored various challenges that affect girl students to achieve their dreams and how to overcome those challenges.
Practical Approaches on using Scikit-learn for Machine Learning Project
As part of pythontz event at The Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology (NM-AIST), Arusha-Tanzania, I had an opportunity to present a talk on practical approach on using scikit-learn for Machine learning project. The talk aimed at giving an accessible introduction on how to use machine learning techniques using scikit-learn. Scikit-learn is a Python open source library designed to tackle machine learning problems from beginning to end. It provides efficient versions of a large number of common machine learning algorithms.
Python for Data Science
Python is a powerful, flexible, open source and widely-used programming language with many applications.
I had an opportunity to facilitate a workshop on python4Data science at Arusha Technical College (ATC), Arusha -Tanzania. The workshop aimed to explores Python’s place in the scientific ecosystem, and how the language, with several readily-available open-source libraries, can serve as a powerful tool for data science.
