Help African Ladies attend WIML conference Accra

Donation protected
We've been selected to attend the first-ever Women in Machine Learning conference in Africa by Yielding Accomplished African Women,  sponsored by Google in Accra, Ghana. Sadly, no support for travel, it's an event we wouldn't want to miss. We are over 20 ladies in Nigeria - data scientists who have been chosen. We want to be part of this exciting journey and hence seek support. Attending this event will not only provide also a great platform to learn and connect with other ladies across the continent, but it would also boost our career. The event is due to commence December 5th, 2019, to December 7th, 2019, at La Palm Hotel Accra.


ABOUT ME:
During the course of my postgraduate studies last year, I came across the field of Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning. I started taking courses ranging from the “Introduction to Python programming language to the basics of Machine learning/Artificial Intelligence” and working on several projects to sharpen my skills. I took classes with AISaturdays Lagos and DataScienceNigeria. Over the past year, I have developed valuable skills, both analytical, technical and interpersonal. I’ve regularly participated in activities such as hackathons, educational conferences, meet-ups, and volunteer roles; requiring leadership, teamwork and effective communication, fundamental and technical skills and qualities. I was also a participant at the just concluded "AI Bootcamp 2019" by DataScienceNigeria. I also co-organize meetups for Open Data Science Conference, Lagos Nigeria, and an Ambassador for the organization in Africa. Independent learning and time management have been two key assets in this journey and have helped me achieved certain goals and targets. 

I have a strong desire to excel in the field and become a source of inspiration to others by impacting and assist to grow the community to the best of my ability. My desire to study Artificial Intelligence and become a resourceful contributor to the field stems from my interest in innovative science and technology, as well as my belief that further innovations in intelligent, autonomous systems will change the world.

Participation in this conference will help in boosting the skills of my team and I , as well as help us achieve a milestone in our career, also provide us with the valuable resources which would be very useful to the growth of Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning in our community and Africa as a continent.


Thanks as you help us achieve this dream.
