🌟Tomorrow is a big day for us as we present our “Smart IoT Agriculture & Automated Irrigation System” project, designed as a greenhouse. We’ve put in a tremendous effort to achieve first place in the FabLab Mogadishu Hackathon. Our project is not just about technology it’s a practical solution to climate challenges in Somalia, such as drought and water scarcity. It contributes to improving water efficiency and sustainably increasing crop yields. Let’s see what tomorrow holds! #IoT_Certification_Program HUBiquitous H2020

From 2021 to 2024, we spent three years supporting European and African Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) through capacity building and networking. We were part of AfriConEU – a consortium of 11 organizations from Europe and Africa, working across tech, academia, social enterprises, not-for-profit and policy including INOVA+ Youthmakers Hub Emerging Communities Africa Buni Hub hapaSpace Collaborative Hub Porto Business School Outbox Uganda dpixel Stimmuli For Social Change and ITC - Innovation Technology Cluster In our most recent blog, we summarise our 3 main takeaways impacting digital transformation in Africa. 🔑 African Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) play a unique and central role in local innovation ecosystems. From community convening, skills training to policy advocacy, the breadth and cross-cutting nature of the roles that African DIHs play is unique to the region. As such, African DIHs have a lot to teach the world about cross-sector collaboration which is critical for sustainable development. 📌 Despite their crucial role, African DIHs remain under-resourced. We found that currently, the funding made available to DIHs is often structured in ways that do not allow hubs develop robust organisations or sustainably carry out their work. There is a need to develop funding models that are tailored to the unique needs of DIHs and for catalytic capital - capital that takes a long-term view and is invested in the development of the ecosystem rather than in short-term gains. 💱 An emerging EU-Africa innovation ecosystem is unlocking opportunities for both regions. A joint EU-Africa innovation ecosystem is developing rapidly thanks to EU-funded Horizon 2020 projects like AfriConEU, ENRICH in Africa - EiA, AEDIB|NET, DIGILOGIC_EU and HUBiquitous H2020 as well as thriving networks and communities such as London Africa Network and StArfrica - Startup Germany-Africa . While this ecosystem faces a unique set of challenges, not least historic power imbalances and cultural differences, our joint work with EU and African partners showcased the immense impact that trans-continental digital innovation collaboration can bring.

I am delighted to announce that I recently completed an extraordinary IoT certification program offered by Sciency Maker Labs and Hubiquitous. This certification has been a transformative and enriching experience, immersing me in the forefront of IoT technologies. 🌟💻 A crowning achievement of this certification was my involvement in a collaborative project centered around developing an innovative IoT-based e-tolling system customized for the unique landscape of Zimbabwe. Utilizing my expertise in Arduino, RFID technology, and an array of advanced sensors, I spearheaded the creation of a sophisticated solution that seamlessly integrates with Firebase real-time DB and a bespoke web application. This project not only honed my technical prowess but also underscored the pivotal role of IoT in reshaping conventional systems and tackling real-world challenges with ingenuity and creativity. The insights and competencies derived from this program have not only expanded my understanding of the boundless potential of IoT in catalyzing innovation but have also equipped me with a profound appreciation for its capacity to address intricate issues across diverse domains. This immersive journey has been nothing short of enlightening, and I am eagerly looking forward to channeling these newfound skills into future endeavors with unwavering enthusiasm and dedication. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Sciency Learning, the esteemed individuals Nkosana Masuku, Kwanele Ruth Ndhlovu, Nolwazi Ncube the groundbreaking initiative HUBiquitous H2020, the entire remarkable team for orchestrating this unparalleled learning odyssey, the National University of Science and Technology for giving me the opportunity and Special thanks also go out to my collaborative counterparts whose camaraderie and dedication have been a source of inspiration and growth throughout this exceptional voyage. Thank you all for this remarkable experience and for empowering me with invaluable skills that will undoubtedly shape my future endeavors! 🙏🏿🚀

At this day and age, with tech being the centre of the current fourth industrial revolution #4IR, everything is evolving so quickly. It is wisdom, with this in mind, to take up opportunities presenting themselves at the table to also grow, especially leveraging on the tech community around. With IOT and AI being the fields of my interest, I embarked on a journey alongside a team from IEEE DeKUT SB, Dekut Innovators Club sponsored by HUBiquitous H2020, Waziup e.V. and Waziup IoT for an IOT course and wrapped up with a #hackathon, in which my team; Brian Muchai, Levis Chiri, Sylvia Maina, Talitha Rozally, Albert Muga, Glory Chege and Patrick Muli emerged among the best The learning involved the fundamental IoT concepts such as #hardware integration, #communication protocols, #APIs, #ML(TinyML), and Web development for IoT. Big up to the organizers and trainers of this course Nickson Kiprotich Ryan Kiprotich Trevor Mwanzi Moses Kangethe and Mercy Sheila Otuko. I also extend gratitude to the well accomplished judges Joseph Musya Joseph Maina and Emilio Kariuki for sharing insights about also growing the idea into a #startup. Special thanks to the patron Verol Nangáni for the platform. My heart is glad.

Absolutely thrilled to announce that I have completed the comprehensive IoT certification program from Waziup IoT, sponsored by the @European Union and part of the HUBiquitous H2020 program! 🚀 This innovative program, in partnership with DEDAN KIMATHI UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY (DeKUT) Innovators Club and IEEE DeKUT SB, has provided me with a deep understanding of IoT concepts and technologies through a blend of online and offline sessions. I received hands-on training with the Waziup Solution Box and developed practical skills to design, implement, and troubleshoot IoT solutions. To cap off this enriching experience, I participated in a hackathon organized by HUBiquitous H2020, Waziup IoT, Waziup e.V., IEEE DeKUT SB, and DEDAN KIMATHI UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY (DeKUT) Innovators Club. Working alongside my talented team members @Zachery Odhiambo, Kenneth Kimosop, and Stephen Munzyu, we applied our knowledge in real-time, solved complex problems, and innovated together. I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity and excited about the career opportunities this certification opens up. Thank you, Waziup IoT e.V., for providing such a valuable and enriching experience! Special thanks to Nickson Kiprotich, Verol Nangáni Ochieng, Ryan Kiprotich, Mercy Sheila Otuko, and Moses Kangethe for organizing such a comprehensive and engaging training program and hackathon. Looking forward to leveraging these new skills and continuing to explore the exciting possibilities in the IoT space!
