Tell Me About Award:
DSA is a grassroots organization focused on building capability in data science, machine learning and AI in Africa. DSA partners with academic institutions to train students and researchers in cutting-edge computational methods. It also provides a venue to discuss locally developed data science solutions that address problems in Africa. The DSA program usually includes three days of theoretical training in data science methods, and a two-day workshop that provides an opportunity for participants to be exposed to relevant research on the continent. During the two-day workshop, we will organize a parallel session focused on Data Science Applications to Advance Women’s Health and a half-day scientific writing workshop.
