Presenting My Ignite Talk

In October 2019, I joined educators, students, policymakers and professionals from around the world, including twenty-one African countries, for the ScratchAfrica Global Conference. At the conference, I presented  an ignite talk titled β€œLeveraging Creative Learning for the Emerging African Youth Generation”, hosted an “Introduction to Machine Learning”  workshop for educators and also livetweeted talks and sessions.

The ignite talk I gave can be found here: Leveraging Creative Learning for the Emerging African Youth Generation. The talk included ideas from Jean Piaget, Mitchel Resnick and Kofi Annan.

The Introduction to Machine Learning Workshop I hosted was attended by various educators including some who were encountering Machine Learning for the first time.
