Their journey to Ghana was made possible through VarsityMentor’s collaboration with Google AI and Google for Education.
For these students, it marked their inaugural international exposure, an exhilarating experience that took them 29,000 feet above Nigeria. This venture promised to reshape their perspectives and kindle a passion for a future deeply intertwined with technology.
Several other educational institutions were represented at the summit, including the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Enugu, Lead City University, Ibadan, and Simon Diedong Dombo University of Business and Integrated Development Studies (SDD UBIDS), Ghana.
The event, both physically and virtually, boasted a diverse lineup of over 17 professionals from various fields and countries, contributing a rich tapestry of perspectives and experiences.
