Coding talent in refugee camps ? Mohammad Al Refaai 🧶 He came with his father from Syria to Jordan right after the war broke out and settled in #zaatari #refugees Camp in #Mafraq #jordan He was only a school boy at the time, with no idea how his life would unfold afterwards. ✍️ They said you'll stay an average of 17 years in refugee camp They said there's no opportunities in higher eduction in #refugees camps 💪 He said I'll follow my dream and find out a way to learn computer science, even if I don't have prior tech knowledges and most importantly, no university degree He said it's so difficult to get a scholarship after he tried several times, as his family cannot afford to send him to university 🌈 We said there's #coding talents in refugee camps around the world We said with a proper #coding #bootcamp and related #softskills We bet to find them 💫 We said they are not obliged to work in teachable machine for #Artificialintelligence by spending their days in clicking or working for micro tasks in #mturk 🌊 Mohammad Al Refaai recently graduate from Chams-NGO after 8 months of studies.
