The Samia Scholarship Extended for Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Allied Sciences (DS/AI+) training session became a moment of inspiration and reflection as beneficiaries engaged with Joseph Simbakalia.

Simbakalia emphasized that true academic and professional success is built on discipline, integrity, commitment, and patriotism—not intelligence alone. He encouraged scholars to uphold ethical values, remain focused on their goals, and recognize their responsibility to contribute to national development through knowledge and innovation.

Dr. Judith Leo, Acting Deputy Academic, Research, and Innovation, commended Simbakalia for his impactful message, noting that his experience and patriotism offer a powerful example to the next generation of data scientists and AI innovators.

Through the Samia Scholarship DS/AI+, beneficiaries are nurtured to become not only technically skilled professionals, but also principled leaders shaping Tanzania’s digital future.
