 Then team members group into their groups and work on their roject

12. Events
• See events on following slides

13. Tech-motivations
• These are events where people who have
achieved observable success in the ICT sector will
be invited to come and share their stories with Tech
Hub members. This is done to motivate the Hub
members to be proactive and achieve their own
success.

14. Hackathons
• This will be a whole day event devoted to the Hub
members designing, developing and implementing
an ICT project they think will be very important for
the community in relation to a topic given that day
and at the end of the day the winning teams or
individuals will get prizes.
• The main objective is that at the end of the day
there should be a working solution

15. Workshops/Serminars
• Workshops or seminars will be on a specific topic
that the hub members will be taught from a
competent ICT person. An example of such a topic
could be “ Entrepreneurship in ICT”.

16. Discussions
• A discussion will be an event where hub members
on their own discuss the problem they are facing in
their field and in turn help each other with ideas
they could use to eliminate that problem.

17. Projects
• The EC is expected to come up with project ideas
but this is not limited to them only but also the
general hub members. Your idea is your idea. The
Hub has no right(specifically financial and
management) to it. It is a meeting point where you
can get help on your project over it however.
