Today, we officially kicked off the 2026 #TReNDCaMinA Computational Neuroscience & Machine Learning Summer School at DeKUT, Kenya 🚀 We welcome a diverse cohort from across Africa to join our TAs, researchers, and scientists for hands-on mentorship. Enjoy the learning, students! 😍

This week, students explore brain structure, function, and computation using datasets from the @alleninstitute.org. Thanks to TAs @ashvparker.bsky.social, Evren Gokcen, Gilgal A., @mzouink.bsky.social, @pollytur.bsky.social, and @skuechenhoff.bsky.social for their sharp insight and mentorship!

Our students kicked off the week with Spikeling from @opensourceneuro.bsky.social, seeing neurons fire live and making theory real. Then they explored @alleninstitute.org open neural data, preparing for upcoming projects.
