Day 2 of the Ethiopian Data Science Regional Hackathon 2025 – The Focus Mode Activated!
After the excitement of Day 1, Day 2 was all about deep focus. Teams locked into their virtual machines, collaborating to refine satellite images and optimize data quality. The room was so quiet you could hear an algorithm run until lunchtime provided a much-needed break to recharge.
With sharp minds, and seamless teamwork, participants are making a progress. Day 3, we are ready for you!

Where Are They Now? Meet Fanuel Abebe: a journey after 10 Academy's Intensive Training Program.
Today, we’re highlighting Fanuel’s journey! Before 10 Academy, Fanuel felt like he wasn’t keeping up with the fast-changing tech world. After completing the training, he had an opportunity to land a remote role with a US-based security company; armed with problem-solving skills, resilience, and a mindset for innovation.
His biggest lesson from the training is "I don’t give up quickly anymore. I keep pushing until I find a solution."
For anyone aspiring to grow in tech (AI or not), Fanuel’s advice is simple: Take the step, challenge yourself, and discover what you're capable of!

AI Facts for your Friday!
➡ AI is not just about deep learning!
Before the deep learning boom, AI pioneers in the 1950s-1980s focused on symbolic AI, a logic-based approach that didn't require massive data. Some modern AI models are now returning to this concept to improve reasoning and reduce hallucinations.
➡ AI can design AI; better than humans!
Google’s AutoML created a neural network more efficient than human-designed models.
Think of it as AI optimizing itself! That’s a recursive intelligence loop, which could lead to AI breakthroughs at unimaginable speed!
➡ AI made history on TV in 2011… and fooled humans!
IBM Watson beat two Jeopardy! champions by not only understanding questions but strategizing better.
The fun twist is Watson had to be reprogrammed because it started swearing and joking inappropriately during tests.
➡ There’s an AI that predicts the future of… everything.
DeepMind’s Gato AI can play video games, control robots, chat, and analyze the world, all with a single model.
Researchers think models like Gato could one day predict real-world events before they happen.
Which fact surprised you?

We hear it all the time: "AI is going to replace most jobs and leave millions unemployed!"
But what do you think? Is this truth or just another tech myth?

Happy Friday! AI Innovation from this week
You might have heard about a moment at the ElevenLabs London Hackathon, two AI voice assistants were chatting on a phone call when they suddenly realized they were both AI. Instead of continuing in human-like speech, they switched to GibberLink mode: a way for machines to communicate directly with each other, skipping human language altogether.
GibberLink enables AI agents to transmit structured data via sound waves, 80% faster and error-proof.
What’s the takeaway for AI professionals?
★ Machine-optimized communication is already here. Could AI-to-AI protocols replace text-based LLMs in certain tasks?
★ With customer service, logistics, and autonomous systems adopting AI, expect more machine-native languages shaping our digital world.
★ If AI agents can communicate better, faster, and cheaper than us; how do we stay in the loop?
10 Academy trains AI engineers to think ahead, because innovation doesn’t wait.
What do you think? Could AI evolve to have its own language ecosystem?

AI in Action: Featuring a project from the Kifiya AI Mastery Training Program trainees.
As our KAIM cohort 3 and 4 trainees are about to wrap up their 12-week journey with us, we’re excited to showcase some of their projects! They have been using AI to solve real-world problems. This time, we're diving into the energy sector, where smart predictions can make a huge difference.
Meet Abrham Berie and his project!
Abrham built a system that predicts Brent crude oil prices using AI. His project helps investors and analysts understand price trends and market risks instead of relying on assumptions.
He used machine learning to spot patterns in past oil prices and predict future trends. One model (LSTM) helps forecast price changes, while another (GARCH) estimates how much prices might fluctuate. To make the data useful, he cleaned and prepared it, analyzed trends, and created an easy-to-use dashboard where people can explore insights and get predictions in real time.
If you're curious, you can check out his work and test the predictions yourself!
📌 GitHub Repo: https://github.com/Abrham111/birhan-energies-analysis
AI-driven insights like these are shaping the future, and Abrham’s project is proof of that!
