Technical AI Lectures
Expert-led lectures that work through the core technical content of the curriculum, from neural networks to transformers and model acceleration.
Workshops
An intensive week that turns lecturers into AI educators
Each workshop is a fully funded, in-person week for nominated lecturers and teaching assistants. It builds on the online pre-work and prepares participants to deliver the curriculum to their own students.
The workshop week
Four things you'll do
01
Learn
Work through the technical content yourself, from language models to transformers, in lectures and hands-on labs.
02
Teach
Practise teaching the material and get clear feedback, so you leave ready to deliver it with confidence.
03
Adapt
Make the courses fit your students, with local examples, datasets, and framing.
04
Connect
Get to know other lecturers, the team, and partners, and build relationships that last beyond the week.
What happens during the week
Workshop activities
The week combines technical lectures, pedagogical design, contextualisation for Africa, hands-on and responsible innovation activities, teaching practice with structured feedback, and time to connect.
Pedagogical Design
Sessions on how to teach this material well: structuring a course, designing activities, and supporting students through difficult concepts.
Contextualisation for Africa
Workshops on adapting examples, datasets, and case studies so the curriculum speaks directly to African students and their contexts.
AI and Responsible Innovation Activities
Hands-on activities that build practical AI skills alongside responsible innovation: thinking through impact, fairness, and resource use.
Explain It Back
Short teaching practice where you explain a concept back to peers and receive structured feedback to sharpen your delivery.
Lecture It Back
Longer teaching practice where you deliver a full lecture segment to the group, with structured feedback from facilitators and peers.
Social and Networking
Shared meals, social activities, and networking that turn a cohort of strangers into a lasting community of practice.
