Andela x OpenAI Codex Champions Showcase
Join us on May 19, 2026 at 5:30 PM for the Andela x OpenAI Codex Champions Showcase — an exclusive evening where Africa's top engineering talent and the world's most powerful AI tools come together to present solutions to the challenges that matter most.
Engineers from Andela's certified learning network completed an intensive, invitation-only training program on OpenAI's Codex platform. On stage, they'll present their capstone projects — designed in partnership with OSF's Transformative Peace in Africa initiative — and compete for the top prize.
📣 Update: This event will now be hosted as a live stream. Due to transportation strikes on the ground in Nairobi, we're moving the celebration online - but nothing else is changing. All programming is going ahead as planned. Tune in via the links below:
