3. Dive right in: take the @Udemy Python Bootcamp Course
udemy.com/course/python-…

4. Join Local AI Meetups/Communities such as @DataScienceNIG or @AISaturdayLagos , and start submitting entries for @kaggle and @ZindiAfrica competitions

5. If you have the means, attend any of @InsightFellows programs.

Otherwise, any or all of @Udacity Nanodegrees will surely be a huge boost (they still have first month free):

- udacity.com/course/machine…

6. You may need to learn some core Mathematics concept along the way, be open-minded

7. ML Models are hardly deployed On-prem theses days, so learn about Cloud Platforms and Serving ML models via APIs. Popular ones are @Azure @googlecloud & @awscloud. Get certified if you can!
8. Please, I BEG YOU!
Don't JUMP to Deep Learning, if you've not fully understood basic ML or don't have a good grasp of Neural Networks.

9. Read AI/ML textbooks - Finish one, or at least make sure you are ready to completely abandon it b4 picking another.

10. Attend AI Events.
When you feel comfortable, produce, review & publish AI/ML Research. Also, endeavor to contribute to open-source AI/ML projects.

Start teaching whatever you know in ur small circle, then big events.
