In a significant step towards fostering innovation and technological advancement, students from UNILAK Faculty of Computing and Information Sciences successfully completed a five-day intensive block chain training session. The program, organized by Internet Computer (ICP) Rwanda, aimed to equip students with cutting-edge skills and knowledge in block chain technology, one of the fastest-growing sectors in the digital world.
The training, led by experts from ICP Rwanda, covered key aspects of block chain development; students also had the opportunity to work on hands-on projects that reinforced their learning.
Speaking on the completion of the training, one of the participants, Marick , a final-year student in the Faculty of Computing and Information Sciences, expressed his excitement about the experience.
“This training has been an eye-opener for me. Block chain is transforming industries globally, and now I feel confident in my ability to apply what I have learned in real-world scenarios. The practical experience has been invaluable,” she said.
Dr. Enan Nyesheja, Dean of the Faculty of Computing and Information Sciences, praised the students for their dedication and emphasized the importance of such initiatives in the university’s curriculum.
“Block chain technology is reshaping the future of finance, supply chains, and even governance. By offering our students the opportunity to engage with this transformative technology, we are preparing them for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in the tech industry,” Dr. Enan noted.
Representatives from ICP Rwanda were equally enthusiastic about the collaboration.
“It is always inspiring to see young minds so engaged in learning new technologies. The students from UNILAK have demonstrated great potential, and we look forward to future collaborations that will deepen their understanding and experience with blockchain.”
The successful completion of the training marks an important milestone for UNILAK as it continues to position itself as a leader in technology education. The university remains committed to providing its students with access to high-quality learning experiences that will equip them with the skills needed to excel in the fast-evolving digital economy.
