TEENS IN AI - AI4GOOD

University Of Eswatini (UNESWA) and UNESWA AI have partnered with AI4GOOD for the Teens in AI Eswatini Incubator 2025!

This collaboration couldn’t be more perfect. Both UNESWA and UNESWA AI are deeply committed to advancing technology education, research, and innovation in Eswatini. Their leadership in fostering AI skills development, academic excellence, and youth empowerment aligns perfectly with the mission of Teens in AI to ensure that every young person — regardless of background — has the opportunity to explore the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence.

From 11–15 August 2025, 30 teens from state schools and underserved communities across Eswatini gathered Kaluseni campus to:

Explore AI & machine learning
Build ethical solutions to real climate challenges
Work with global mentors and experts
Pitch their solutions on Demo Day

Together with our partners, we are creating more than just an event — we are building a pipeline of future innovators, problem-solvers, and leaders who will contribute not only to Eswatini’s growth, but to the global AI ecosystem.

Teachers Training on AI Literacy

In June 2025, in partnership with MTN Yello Care, 100 teachers gained upskilling in Generative AI for instructors at the UNESWA AI Academy's Generative AI for Teachers Workshop.
This influential curriculum emphasised the value of data privacy and protection while providing educators with the fundamental generative AI abilities they need. When incorporating AI into their classes, teachers were instructed to protect personal information and acknowledge data privacy as a fundamental right.
As they reflected on this experience, the educators shared how AI has made their work easier and their students' education more engaging.

Following this program, the AI Academy will extend an invitation to the teachers to participate in an ongoing AI Teaching Community of Practice. Peer help, resource sharing, and updates on new AI techniques and technologies will all be offered by this platform.

Building an inclusive and digitally empowered society through comprehensive AI education, cutting-edge research, and transformative community engagement.
