In its continued effort to promote digital literacy and youth innovation, the Wunti Al-Khair Foundation has sponsored 100 young tech enthusiasts to attend DevFest 2025, a leading technology conference designed to equip participants with cutting-edge skills in Artificial Intelligence (AI), research, and solution development in Federal Polytechnic Bauchi.

The event, organized under the global Google Developer Groups (GDG) initiative, brought together developers, innovators, and tech professionals to explore emerging technologies and real-world applications of AI.

During the sessions, participants learned practical applications of AI tools in business, education, and community development, and were guided through hands-on workshops on how to use NotebookLM for research and data-driven insights. They also explored the process of building innovative solutions — from conceptualization to product launch — using AI technologies.

Many of the sponsored participants expressed gratitude to Wunti Al-Khair Foundation for the opportunity, noting that the experience opened their eyes to new career paths and possibilities in the technology ecosystem.

The Foundation’s sponsorship of young innovators to DevFest underscores its broader mission of empowering youth, bridging the digital divide, and promoting inclusive access to technology-driven opportunities in Bauchi State and across Nigeria.
