Oracle Academy was pleased to host the Sub-Saharan Africa Educators Bootcamp — a specialized program designed to help university-level educators elevate their teaching of computer science and technology courses using Oracle technologies — on August 28, 2025.

This year’s theme, ‘Leveraging Oracle AI and Database for Enhanced Teaching and Learning,’ focused on empowering educators to personalize learning and make data-informed decisions that improve student outcomes. Participants explored how artificial intelligence and database technologies can open powerful new ways to engage students through personalized, adaptive learning experiences. The sessions were conducted by Oracle experts in the field of AI, cloud, and database.

Through this immersive program, educators learned:

  • How to integrate AI and database concepts into their teaching
  • Align Oracle Academy curriculum with current industry workforce needs
  • Incorporate hands-on, practical projects into coursework
  • Build valuable industry connections that benefit both faculty and students

“Thank you to Oracle Academy for organizing this bootcamp training. As a lecturer at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa, I value the cutting-edge technologies and resources that Oracle provides. The focus on AI and databases was both timely and relevant, given their central role in shaping the future of technology. The knowledge acquired will greatly enhance the delivery and facilitation of our information technology courses,” said Dr. Ruto Yano, Lecturer, Catholic University of Eastern Africa, Kenya.

“The webinar was quite informative and provided an excellent overview of Oracle Academy’s offerings, especially its gen AI capabilities. We also appreciate the upcoming Race to Certification 2025 offer, an excellent initiative for recent graduates to gain valuable, career-ready cloud computing skills and certifications.
Thank you for the bootcamp, and we’re looking forward to more informative sessions,” said Mr. Khalid Abdallah, Ardhi University, Tanzania.

By the end of the bootcamp, participants were equipped to transform their classrooms and prepare students not just for exams, but for the real-world challenges of the tech-driven economy.
