Intel Hacks By KU { Upcoming Event }

Hey guys,

Another Intel Hackathon is here with us! And I am super stoked because this particular one is taking place in my school, that is, Kenyatta University and just a day after my birthday! Can I hear a double whoop, whoop? No?

So if you are interested in Android development and putting your coding skills to the test in such an environment is your thing, then the date to save is 19^th September, 2014 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm at the C.I.T Department. Participants will be required to develop Native Android apps in groups of three {Groups to be formed right before the event begins}.

Kenyatta University To Offer Paid Internships To Students

Most if not all of you have already reached that point in your lives where you have had the need to apply for a job, internship or an attachment of some sort. Am I right? That is something we all looked forward to! It felt ‘grown up’! But the excitement soon fizzles out into desperation and anguish when you can’t land such a placement after what seems like years of "tarmacking"!

You become known around the estates for carrying a large brown envelope filled with copies of you curriculum vitae! And if it’s not that, you are the person who will constantly live on the internet sending out emails and hoping to get some feedback. Even a negative response becomes very much appreciated because you know at least they had a look at your application.

Africa Connected Youth Forum

Hello folks! The last day of the month is finally here with us. Excited, No? Yes? Well, I am! Of course my excitement has something to do with a number of reasons but I will only share a couple with you...at least just for now.

Hehe! For starters, I had been looking forward to 1^st April, 2014 for quite some time now and if my memory serves me right that should be tomorrow! Yeey! This is because the tomorrow marks the day when the Africa Connected winners will be announced and non-other than yours truly will be in attendance :)

Google Developer Group Kenyatta University Revamp {#gdgkurevamp}

Finally, the last day of January is here with us! Is it just me or did this month seem to have had like 9 weeks?? Boy oh boy, it feels as if we are already in March or something. Anyway, that aside…this month saw our first event of the year which was dubbed Google Developer Group Kenyatta University Revamp. It was organized by the GDG KU team which is currently being led by +margaret adhiambo  and +Mercy Orangi who is an alumnus of our university and also the former lead of this chapter. She is also the current co lead of GDG Nairobi. +njihia jeremy and I played our part in helping the event run smoothly GSAs.

Ok, I know some of you are probably wondering what this GDG I speak of is. I had mentioned something small about them in this post here.

Going Google Awareness Campaign

So this is a very big week for Kenyatta University because guess what people, we are finally going Google!! Oh so sorry, I even forgot to say hello! How mean of me. How are you? I trust you are awesome! I am swell as well…uhhh, I rhymed (score one for me)

I am going to make this as brief as I can so that you do not get bored along the way and sleep and miss your bus and get stuck where you are and be forced to spend the night there hence get late for where you are supposed to be tomorrow and long story short, it’s just going to be really hectic for you.
