Abstract

The Forecasters' WEB of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology and University of Energy and Natural Resources collaborated on a pioneering exchange program/hackathon to address climate change challenges. Aimed at educating students, the program covered forecasting techniques, scientific programming and featured mentor sessions. Participants analysed historical climate change in Africa, revealing temperature increases and no clear precipitation patterns. The program showcased successful outcomes, emphasizing the importance of skill development and collaboration. The paper highlights the program strengths, limitations and outcomes, emphasizing its role in cultivating next generation of climate scientists. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
