A National AI for Youth program has been developed to provide students with access to modules that may be used to build answers to problems in health, agriculture, and climate change.

The program, which is being spearheaded by Coral Reef Innovation Hub in collaboration with Intel, is also expected to assist kids in addressing challenges such as education, finance, and others.

Ghana is the continent's second country to implement this initiative, following South Africa.

Dr. Kwabena Tandoh, Deputy Director-General of Ghana Education Service (GES), spoke during the launch at the Association International School in Accra, emphasizing the importance of students, staff, and parents leveraging technology to help make work easier.

The GES reveals intentions to introduce technology to every student in the country, emphasizing the importance of understanding technology and AI's advantages.

Dr. Bienvenu Soglo, Africa and IGA CTO Liaison for Intel, highlights modules designed to provide accurate A.I. knowledge and its societal impact. These modules aim to empower students to responsibly use A.I. tools and methodologies to create purposeful solutions for local and global challenges.

Mr. Richard Anim, Managing Partner at Coral Reef Innovation Hub, announces extensive plans, including training 1,400 teachers, deploying AI smart labs in 700 schools with 45,000 devices, and ultimately reaching one million students nationwide.

The call is made for government, groups, schools, and individuals to collaborate and turn the National AI For Youth Programme into a reality.

The program will be implemented in schools nationwide, leading to The National AI For Youth Competition, where winners will represent Ghana at the prestigious Intel AI Global Impact Festival.

Prominent speakers, including David A. Ofori, Director of Innovation at NEIP; Lady Fatima Alimohammed, Founder & CEO of African Brand Warrior; and Lady Omega, CEO of Ampersand Technologies, stress the significance of embracing Artificial Intelligence as a transformative tool for the continent.
