Day 3 just got real. 🔥 The @MbararaUST Vice Chancellor, Prof. Pauline Byakika, is in the room while we build our MVPs today. Python, AI and big ideas are on show. No pressure, builders. Ship something worth showing! #DI4D #VLIRUOS

[Faculty of Computing and Informatics @MubsFCI]

Day 3: MVP Building. ⚔️Today we find out which ideas survive.The rules:
🔹 One problem
🔹 One Python script, One working demo by sunset
If it takes more than a day to build, it isn't an MVP. It's a hobby. Ship the ugly version and let real users decide if it deserves a Day 4.

[Faculty of Computing and Informatics @MubsFCI]

Day 3 is here, and today we’re building MVPs. 🛠️
No more planning, no more polishing. We’re picking one idea, using Python to get data in, a model working and a simple chart or app on screen. A working prototype beats a perfect plan. #VLIRUOS #DI4D @OfficialMubs @MbararaUST

[Faculty of Computing and Informatics @MubsFCI]

Python is why data science moves fast. Pandas for the data, scikit-learn for the models, Matplotlib and Plotly to see the patterns. From raw CSV to a chart and a working prediction in an afternoon, not a quarter. 🐍📊 #DataScience #DI4D #VLIRUOS @MbararaUST

[Faculty of Computing and Informatics @MubsFCI]

AI isn’t only for big labs. With Python you can prototype an idea, visualise the results and iterate before lunch. A good chart often shows you what the model missed. Fail fast, learn fast, ship something useful. 🚀 #VLIRUOS #DI4D

Day 2 #DI4D Hackathon: Qlik deep dive 🧠
🔹 ETL in load script: LOAD, JOIN, ApplyMap()
🔹 Star schema; killing synthetic keys & circular refs
🔹 QVDs for fast reloads
🔹 Set analysis: Sum({<Season={‘2026A’}>} Yield_kg)/Sum(Area_ha)
🔹 Drill-down by region→district→farm #VLIRUOS
