Safaricom PLC's Safaricom Women In Technology - Campus Outreach team is a dedicated team of passionate women from across our technology division that is dedicated to upskilling and re-skilling students from across different universities in Kenya. It is no doubt that #AI is here to stay and it is important to train the next generation of talent on in-demand technologies. Over the month of February and March, the team held a campus connect tour for universities in Nairobi county and Kajiado county, covering The Catholic University of Eastern Africa, Africa Nazarene University and Multimedia University of Kenya. The aim of the tour was to impart Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning knowledge to students. During the sessions, we delved into topics such as #datascience #dataengineering #MLOps and #generativeAI. In addition, we discussed the ways in which several tech domains, including cybersecurity and design, leverage artificial intelligence. Many thanks to our speakers and coaches: Kamau Maina, Stephany Wakeanda Nyaribo Maseru Ngesa Marvin Reuben Kihiu Ayub Robert, Benson O. and Mercy Cheruiyot for making this happen. We of course could not forget to hold a #hr session where we covered the recruitment process in the tech industry, soft skills, personal branding and work ethics. A big thank you to Moses Mwasame SFC™ who made sure to always show up and speak to the students. As we concluded our campus connect tour at Multimedia University, where we commemorated International Women's Day, #IWD, we had the honour of having Safaricom's women in leadership join us for a panel discussion and mentoring session for ladies titled 'Raising your hand as a woman in tech'. The session delved into the challenges women in leadership face, how to overcome gender bias, strategies for career advancement, decision making and work-life balance as well as strategies to build inclusive environments. A very big thank you to Solange Karwera, Lilian Nyawira Kiambati, Eneth Kubai and Dianah Ogeto for being part of this empowering session. We were also privileged to be joined by Mark Oyier who talked to the students on 'Finding your niche'. Grateful to our Safaricom Women In Technology leadership led by Donna Phoebe Rege and Dianah Ogeto for supporting us throughout this tour, as well as my fellow campus leads, Beryl Anne Chepkemoi, Charity Nyanchera Meek Jerop Karan Stacy Kendi Sheila Chege Faith Mwanyolo Essy Muthoni Mwangi and Brenda Gaceri for executing this. Not forgetting our brand team Susan Muthoka and Boaz Ogutu. #onestudentatatime
