Higher education students across Sub-Saharan Africa came together virtually for a transformative learning experience during the Oracle Academy SSA Students Bootcamp on February 21, 2025. Themed “Unlocking Innovation with AI and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure,” the session delivered an engaging, hands-on experience aimed at empowering the next generation of tech-driven problem solvers.
The bootcamp was facilitated by expert Oracle Solution Engineers, who guided students through real-world applications of artificial intelligence and cloud computing. With a mix of live demos, interactive Q&As, and practical showcases, students explored how emerging technologies are reshaping industries and opening new pathways for innovation.
The session began by breaking down the fundamentals of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and progressed to exploring how AI solutions are built, deployed, and scaled using OCI’s powerful capabilities. Students gained exposure to tools and technologies that are in high demand in today’s digital workforce, reinforcing the importance of cloud fluency and AI literacy.
One of the most exciting parts of the session was the opportunity for participants to engage directly with Oracle experts – asking questions, exploring career pathways, and understanding how to leverage cloud technologies to solve real-world challenges.
By the end of the bootcamp, students left inspired, informed, and equipped with knowledge to continue their journeys as innovators and tech leaders. The event reinforced Oracle’s commitment to supporting digital skills development across Sub-Saharan Africa and nurturing a generation ready to build the future.
