What Ibadan RAIN Centre Has for New Students

 

The Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (RAIN) is a center dedicated to knowledge transfer and management within the context of emerging technologies driven by machine learning and artificial intelligence. RAIN came into existence from the knowledge and skills of Dr Ayoola Saheed.  In a recent interview, Dr Ayoola notes that Nigeria is catching up with other countries in the digital economy. He made this submission having seen how the public and private stakeholders are working towards growth and development of digital economy in the last few years.

In its efforts of supporting digital economy ecosystem, the Centre has opened applications for the new students into various courses. The course ranges from weeks to months. According to the Center, some students are expected to learn Python Programming/Data Science, Machine Learning/Introduction to AI, Deep Learning for Computer Vision and Deep Learning for Natural Language Processing within 8 weeks. Students who desire to have practical knowledge and skills about Robot Development and Automation (RDA) and Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AIML) will spend 9 months for the programmes. At the end of learning cycle, students who met the requirements for certification will be issued certificates.

The application is ongoing for a new session, which would start in February 2021. Parents and guardians are enjoined to enroll their children through this link. Working class professionals who want to advance their knowledge and skills as well as transiting into the knowledge economy space can also register. The centre has daily and monthly accommodation packages.
