Cihan Digital Academy has graduated a new cohort of children and teenagers trained in artificial intelligence under it’s AI Mastery Certification programme. The three-week training introduced participants, aged 8-18, to AI concepts and guided them to build tools for practical use.
At the graduation and project showcase, participants demonstrated AI-powered solutions across education, housing, health, consumer markets, and environmental challenges. Celestine Achi, Chief AI Officer at Cihan Digital Academy, said, “We have been training kids and teens on the concept of AI, and how to use AI to build real-life solutions. Today is their graduation and the day they will showcase what they have been able to build.
The showcase winners received prizes, including iPads, cash awards, and domain names. Selected projects will receive four weeks of follow-up support to build minimum viable products. Achi noted that graduates received the AIMCert certificate, recognised by ISO and the International University of Artificial Intelligence, Missouri.
The projects showcased innovative solutions to pressing social needs, including housing, education, and consumer issues. Omoniyi Ibietan, Secretary General of the African Public Relations Association, said, “Housing is an issue, education is an issue, consumer issues… You saw somebody talk about a marketplace, another enabled people to source for accommodation or housing. Everyone is a winner.”
One of the winners, Angel Achi, developed an education app named StudyGeeX, motivated by her own exam challenges. She said, “I want an app where I can just paste everything so they will understand everything… I thought of an app that can summarise and create flashcards for quick learning.”
Achi called on policymakers to invest in early innovation, saying, “The government should take the kids and teens seriously… As far as this AI is concerned, they are the kings”
