IWD2024 Global Techathon Kickoff

Eclectic Love is here, buzzing with excitement as we embark on a groundbreaking journey in Ho, Ghana. As the newly appointed local ambassador for Teens in AI, I am thrilled to announce the kickoff of Inspiration Week, a prelude to the much-anticipated IWD2024 Global Techathon. This year marks the 7th annual distributed global techathon aimed at inspiring teens aged 12 to 18 to harness Artificial Intelligence for social good.

For the first time in our community, we are hosting the Teens in AI techathon right here in Ho! We’re gearing up for a hybrid extravaganza, inviting teams from across the globe to collaborate, innovate, and solve real-world problems using AI and Data Science. The enthusiasm here is palpable, with students from all corners of the Ho Municipality joining us on this adventure. Our girls and boys are equally eager, and we can’t wait to dive into the world of AI together!

The lead-up to the techathon is our Inspiration Week, designed to fuel curiosity and ignite passion among our young participants. Each day, we’ll explore critical themes surrounding Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 3 (Good Health and Well-being), 4 (Quality Education), and 5 (Gender Equality). Through interactive sessions, engaging workshops, and enlightening talks from distinguished speakers, our teens will gain invaluable insights and knowledge, setting a strong foundation for their techathon projects.

A heartfelt thank you to Teens in AI for empowering us to offer this phenomenal opportunity to our youth, especially our girls, who are often underrepresented in STEM fields. Your support is helping us break barriers and build a more inclusive, innovative future for all.

To our friends, families, and supporters, join us in cheering on these brilliant young minds as they embark on this transformative journey. Your encouragement means the world to us and to every teen taking part in this inspiring initiative.

Let’s make history together! Stay tuned for updates, highlights, and the incredible innovations our teens will undoubtedly bring to life. Together, we’re not just learning about AI; we’re shaping the future.
