In its quest to make Africa a tech continent and a pool of tech talent, SQI College of ICT has launched yet another branch in Challenge, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.
The new Robotics and AI campus is to train students in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The campus is also equipped with state-of-the-art rapid prototyping equipment to enable local manufacturing for robotics and engineering in general. SQI sees this facility as bridging a major gap in the manufacturing environment for creators and innovators in robotics and engineering who currently depend on overseas services for most of their manufacturing needs.
The facility is equipped with equipment for PCB printing and assembly, 3D printing (including FDM and SLA technologies), CNC machining, and more. SQI also unveils intriguing plans to extend access to its manufacturing facilities to creators across the country.
Being an accredited school by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), the authority of the institution during the launching has vowed to give the best experience to students in acquiring skills and hands-on experience that set them apart as robotics engineers. SQI College of ICT launches a new Robotics and AI Training and Research Centre in Nigeria.
