# West Africa Workshop

### Course overview <a href="#course-overview" id="course-overview"></a>

Each day is organised in four main activities:

* Keynote Lectures: a presentation by H3D and Ersilia mentors and invited speakers, introducing key concepts that we will put into practice during the day
* Skills Workshop: a hands-on training where the course facilitators will walk the participants through a specific ML exercise
* Breakout: participants will be divided in small groups to complete an exercise related to the skills workshop
* Group Discussion: each group will give a short (10 min) presentation on their breakout activity.
