What you will learn during this program

Go from zero experience to career-ready in AI and Data Science. You’ll master data manipulation, machine learning, model evaluation, and industry-focused AI tools — all through real-world projects and mentorship.

Foundations of Python & Programming

Start from the ground up with Python — the most widely used language in AI. Learn core programming concepts, data structures, logic, and how to write clean, efficient code. No prior experience needed.

Data Cleaning & Exploration

Learn how to transform raw data into useful insights. You’ll use tools like Pandas to clean, structure, and visualize data — a crucial step in any data science workflow.

Statistics & Probability for Data Science

Build a strong foundation in statistical thinking. Understand distributions, correlation, sampling, and probability theory to make data-driven decisions and prepare data for modeling.

Machine Learning & Predictive Modeling

Dive into supervised and unsupervised learning techniques. Train, evaluate, and fine-tune models using real-world datasets — from regression and classification to clustering and more.

Capstone Projects with Industry Partners

Put your skills to the test in a hands-on project with real business impact. Collaborate with industry partners, receive expert feedback, and showcase your work in a professional portfolio.

To be part of this fellowship you will need to

Our Three Pillars

Blended Peer Learning

You will be placed in small groups to work together as a team and complete academic goals in real-time virtual classrooms and during in-person sessions; which has goals at the individual and group level.

Mentor-Based Learning

A mentor will be available at all times during office hours to provide help and evaluate your work. We offer you a supportive and engaging work environment, where you can feel free to make mistakes and learn.

Projects-Based Learning

Our learning methodology focuses 100% on the needs of today’s market. You will work on real-world projects similar to those you’ll find on the job and complete them using the same tools used by professionals.

Understanding the basics

An Income Share Agreement (ISA for short) is an innovative education financing tool. ISAs work like a Stokvel: you receive financing for your studies, and then when you’re earning enough to support yourself you pay back a percentage of your salary to support the education of future generations. An ISA lets you receive financing without the danger of taking on a loan. If you are successful in your career, you will have the opportunity to pay it forward to the next students. However, if something stops you from earning, you will not have a burden of debt.

Chancen Income Share Agreement (ISA) started in Rwanda in 2018. The Chancen ISA mission is to remove financial barriers regardless of one’s financial background. The Chancen ISA is a fair and ethical financing tool that hopes to help 10,000 young people graduate and find gainful employment in Africa.

If you drop-out of your programme, you are required to repay the financed amount up until the drop-out date.

Your repayment only begins once you have graduated and are earning above a certain amount, called the minimum income threshold. Our unique algorithm ensures that you pay a percentage of your net income that does not encroach on your basic needs.

Yes, you can repay faster by making larger, monthly repayments, if you wish to, under the specific terms highlighted in the ISA agreement.
