Excited to share my experience from the first day of the Otic Foundation's AI for Uganda program! 🚀
Today was eye-opening, reinforcing that tech is an ever-evolving field. Otic is equipping us with the mindset, skillset (PowerBI, Python), and toolset (Anaconda, Google Colab) needed to thrive in this rapidly changing landscape.
Key takeaways:
• Data visualization is crucial for informed decision-making
• Every business should have a data person or team
• Integrating your unique gifts into your learning journey is vital
• Mastering one programming language to its fullest can position you as a technologist
• Self-motivation is key - just keep doing your thing!
We also explored different roles: Innovator, Motivator, and Explorer. Where do you see yourself?
An interesting perspective on Uganda's tech landscape emerged. While some believe we're behind, I see immense potential. It's time to challenge stereotypes and embrace change. *Let's focus on authentic interest rather than labeling disinterest as laziness.*
The discussion on automated bots for flight bookings was fascinating. It highlighted the need for automation in our fast-paced world.
Grateful to learn from industry experts like Paul Nesta (CEO, Otic Foundation), Mr. Andrew, and Isaac Mwesigwa. Their insights on AI, data analytics, and career pivots were truly inspiring.
Excited for what's next in this AI journey! Have you embraced AI in your work? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
