Prof Njenga had a day-long meeting with CoICT Staff in which he presented a topic on The Use of Gaming Technology in Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled Higher Learning Institutions. As an example, Prof Njenga discussed how instructors can use Minecraft for teaching challenging research concepts and students using it for learning through gaming, and at the same time, gaming data are captured using Machine Learning (ML) techniques for training algorithms. He also shared his research on Cyber Security, an important topic to CoICT staff as the college is planning to introduce a Masters Programme in Cyber and Network Security from the next academic year.
