This #InternationalMuseumDay, we celebrate the role museums play in preserving culture, inspiring learning, and connecting communities.

As cities grow, cultural spaces remain vital in shaping identity, tourism, and inclusive urban development. Through data-driven planning, we can help protect and promote these important heritage assets for future generations.

Happy #InternationalMuseumDay!

The Indaba Success Story: Victor Olufemi @OlufemivictorT 💡

Sometimes the best part of the Indaba is seeing where the journey leads after the sessions end.

We caught up with Olufemi Victor, who shared some of his personal highlights and what he’s been able to achieve within the community. It’s stories like these that remind us of the quiet impact of connecting with one another.

Reminder:

Breaking into data science and AI can feel overwhelming.

For many aspiring African data scientists, the path isn’t always clear.
So where do you start; and how do you grow?

The 2026 DSA Summer School & Workshop will be at @Makerere (July 20–24).

What stage are you in? 👇🏾

[Data Science Africa - DSA @dsa_org]

AI is rapidly shaping industries across Africa;
But as adoption grows, an important question remains:

What does responsible AI look like in the African context?
