The Bulbs that got some light:
The coding community bulb: We
thought of starting up a common place where we can publish programming
challenges that would help university students engage their mind. It all
started with a pilot study on The School of Computing and Informatics(SCI) students
where we would post weekly challenges that would see coders with the
best algorithms win awards (Cool T-shirts, mugs) as well as the title
'Code Champ'. The coding community came to be on Jan 19th, 2015
The start up bulb: We met with the very awesome Riyaz Bachani, Founder of Angani and he loved our coding community thing
and was ready to help us reach even to a larger community. Riyaz became
a mentor who really believed in our initiative. He helped us get to The iHub 5 Year Anniversary
(Happening on 7th March, 2015) with the help of the James Ndiga where
we intend to hold an Amazing Hunt kind of challenge where guys can hunt
for treasures based on clues given
Riyaz, opened up our eyes in a way that made our coding comminity initiative be more of a start up and reach out more people.
Angani has been our mother/mentor on this journey to having efficient problem solvers in our society.
