Luminate Data Science Initiative Africa seeks to be a leading organization in promoting data science and technology in Africa, and has set to launch a series of free online courses aimed at improving digital literacy and data skills on its platform, learn.luminatedatascience.org.

The courses cover a wide range of topics, from basic digital literacy to advanced data science techniques and beyond. Some of the courses that have already been uploaded include “Information Security Fundamentals” and “Introduction to Python Programming”.

“We’re excited to offer these FREE courses to our community members and the wider public,” says Emmanuel Isabirye, Co-founder of Luminate Data Science Initiative Africa. “We believe that digital literacy and data skills are essential for success in today’s world, and we want to make sure that everyone has access to quality education in these areas.”

“We believe that education is the key to unlocking a brighter future for Africa, and we’re proud to be a part of that.”

The courses are designed to be engaging, practical, and accessible to learners of all levels. They are taught by experienced instructors who are experts in their fields and have a passion for teaching.

“We want our learners to not only gain new skills but also enjoy the learning process,” says Kubona Martin, Co-founder and Director of Learning at Luminate Data Science Initiative Africa. “We believe that learning should be fun and inspiring, and our courses reflect that.”

The courses are available on learn.luminatedatascience.org with most starting in May. Learners can sign up for individual courses or enroll in a comprehensive program to earn a certificate in digital literacy courses such Introduction to Information Technology, Computing, Programming or data science among others.

“We encourage everyone, from beginners to experts, to check out our courses and join our community of learners,” says Emmanuel Isabirye.
