“Using AI tools and data science, our team successfully developed a project on factors of immunisation on children under five in Liberia, Ghana, and Nigeria using DHS. The 2nd Silverstool/B.A.L.L.E Foundation Online Data Science & AI Fair was instrumental in our achievement, providing valuable resources and support. We’re thrilled to have taken the first position, and we attribute our success to the Fair’s guidance and expertise.”
