New Openings: Become an AI+ Community Champion

Become an AI+ Community Champion

Kick start an AI+ Community in your city or campus anywhere across Africa.

Overview

“If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” – African Proverb

Data Science Nigeria is Africa’s largest and fastest-growing AI learning community due to the passionate drive of AI+ Members continuously spreading AI knowledge and opportunities. As these AI talents continue to spread across the world, Data Science Nigeria will be supporting AI+ Members to set up AI+ Communities in every campus and city in Africa.

These AI+ Communities will be fully funded and supported by Data Science Nigeria and led by a local AI+ Community Lead to run community-based AI learning meet-ups, training, hackathons, research and product development for secondary school students, pre-university students, university/polytechnics students and professionals.

The AI+ Way

The AI+ Genotype is the heart of the DSN AI+ Community; It is an innate passion to be a universal donor and recipient of AI knowledge. Our community members are committed to improving their AI knowledge and giving back to the community in the form of knowledge and opportunity sharing.

What makes our AI+ Communities different?

Our AI+ Communities are all-encompassing as students and all within the academic environment are welcome in AI+ Campus Clubs and all ages and skill groups are welcome in AI+ City Communities.
Our AI+ Leads are verified and validated by Data Science Nigeria and they also continuously attend technical seminars and workshops for quality assurance.
The vast network of local and international mentors and experts in the DSN Community is available to all our AI+ Communities as well as other opportunities in form of courses, data support, scholarships, internships and even job placements.
Each AI+ Community is fully funded and supported by Data Science Nigeria and operates in partnership with local hosts and institutions.
As Africa’s largest and fastest-growing AI learning community, we have a huge pool of AI+ talents available to all AI+ Communities and members to collaborate and network.
Our AI+ Leads are responsible for our high-impact strategy to get AI into all primary and secondary schools in Africa via a Train-the-trainer programme to equip primary and secondary school teachers across Africa with the right basic skills to use our new book on AI/Python programming as part of the curriculum.
