Tekedia Institute is thrilled to announce the launch of a groundbreaking new academic program: Tekedia AI Lab: From Technical Design to Deployment. Coordinated by Prof. Ndubuisi Ekekwe, this hands-on program is meticulously designed to empower learners with the practical skills needed to design, develop, and deploy sophisticated AI systems and agents. Moving beyond theoretical concepts, the AI Lab focuses squarely on tangible implementation, ensuring participants gain real-world experience in bringing AI innovations to life.
What sets the Tekedia AI Lab apart is its commitment to a code-based, cost-effective approach. Unlike many programs that rely on no-code platforms with recurring fees, this program emphasizes direct coding, giving you complete ownership and control over your AI creations. You’ll learn to build AI agents from the ground up, leveraging the power of open-source foundation and large language models (LLMs). This strategic choice eliminates model-related costs, meaning your only significant expense will be your cloud hosting, freeing you from burdensome payments to third-party AI companies.
The Tekedia AI Lab is not a primer on programming fundamentals or the intricate mathematics of machine learning. Instead, it’s a specialized, applied program focused on the crucial skills of connecting, piecing together, and deploying AI agents that can execute specific tasks for individuals and organizations. By tapping into robust open-source AI foundation models, you’ll learn to architect practical solutions, much like how businesses construct websites to power their operations.
Tekedia has already transformed the understanding of AI strategy through our AI in Business Masterclass. Now, with Tekedia AI Lab, we take the next leap—empowering you to not just understand AI, but to build it. Just as every business once needed a website, the next frontier is having your own intelligent AI agent. Tekedia AI Lab will equip you with the tools and knowledge to make that a reality.
To further support your journey, your program fee includes one year of domain registration and cPanel domain hosting, providing the essential infrastructure for you to immediately deploy your developed AI agents. This live, Zoom-based training offers an immersive and interactive learning environment, ensuring you receive personalized guidance as you transform your technical designs into fully functional, deployable AI systems. Get ready to build, innovate, and deploy with Tekedia AI Lab.
