Lagos State Training 2025
Empowering the next generation of AI and Machine Learning leaders in partnership with Lagos State Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education..
The Landmark Initiative
The Nigerian Chapter of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), in collaboration with the Lagos State Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education, has officially launched an ambitious AI and Machine Learning Capacity-Building Program for Senior Secondary School students across Lagos State.
Endorsed by the AAAI global body, this initiative stands as a landmark effort to bring world-class AI knowledge to young Nigerians. The program introduces students to Artificial Intelligence ethics, AI safety fundamentals, large language models (LLMs), and practical applications of machine learning.
Empowering 1,300 Students
This pioneering effort has drawn 1,300 registered students from Senior Secondary Schools across all six educational districts of Lagos State. Over three weeks, participants experience a rich mix of theory and hands-on projects.
Global & Local Support
Opened by the U.S. Mission in Nigeria and supported by Loatsad Promo Media, who donated computers to enhance learning accessibility for our students.
A unique feature of this initiative is that 100 exceptional students will be selected at the end of the program to undergo further intensive AI training and receive international exposure opportunities, connecting them to global innovation ecosystems.
