After being in the Media Lab for 2days, Media Labers finally had a chance to formally meet the new comers aka Course 1’s. It was funny because they have been here for a week before the final selection for the Media Lab was done.
Course 1 team
After participating in a discussion about “who is smarter, human being or the computer” where human being finally emerged the winners, RoseIrene gave the go ahead for the Media Labers to first introduce themselves. In their abnormal, noisy and funny way, each of them mentioned their name, the organization they came from, the estate or ‘mtaa’ (community). It was a time to behold as Khalif, on his shades could not sit down, Sisa was restless and uneasy and as you would expect Esther and Freshia were calm. Everyone tried his/her best to come up with a wise saying or words to encourage the course 1’s, which they took and accepted with open arms.
When their time came, humbly, rather shyly, others trembling as they are not used to talking before a big crowd of 50 people: they introduced themselves following the protocol laid.
The whole experience was generally interactive, unlike what we expected, the Course 1’s were more open and outgoing considering the fact that they have been around for only a week.
What more can we say, we are looking forward to a more exciting NairoBits community for the next 2 weeks!!
