BRCK Nile Expedition Redux
With all the hubbub about the team’s epic three week dash to South Africa and back, some may have forgotten that only a month and a half ago, the other half of the team were cruising Lake Victoria and the Nile in Uganda. The video edit is done, though, so we’re bringing it back! We started off with a plan to work with Johnny Long of Hackers for Charity to connect schools around Jinja to the internet and learn from local educators how we can build technology that meets their needs: http://brck.com/2014/11/brck-expedition-2014-exploring-edtech-on-the-water/#.VJP-mACU We wound up visiting the Living Hope Secondary School on Lingira Island in Lake Victoria: http://brck.com/2014/11/brcked-expedition-connecting-lingira-secondary-school/#.VJP--ACU http://brck.com/2014/11/brcked-expedition-part-two/#.VJP-8ACU On the boat ride back, we broke out our OpenROV underwater exploration robot: http://brck.com/2014/11/going-deep-with-openrov/#.VJP_JACU Finally, we took a raft trip down the White Nile to play with antennas and sensors, to see how the Internet of Things could help conservation efforts in threatened ecosystems: http://brck.com/2014/11/how-the-internet-of-things-can-help-save-our-rivers/#.VJP_TACU You can see all that and more (read: zany BRCK team adventures) in the video above. It’s been a heck of a year for us here in Nairobi, and we can’t wait to see what 2015 brings! (Did someone say they need a weather station on Mt. Kenya…?)Written by paulbirkelo
