We had a pretty uneventful day today. Most people were focused on their individual tasks and as a result there wasn't too much interaction between us. Some of the IDDS organizers trekked into town to buy supplies for Build it modules and the Design Activity but the vast majority stayed behind in the hostel to concentrate on the more mundane aspects of the participants arrival in a day or two. From what I hear, Kumasi sounds like a pretty hectic place. Three of our organizers have travelled down to Accra this afternon by bus to collect the participants from the airport and I can only imagine how crazy Accra is going to be when we showcase our prototypes at the Maker Faire Africa in mid-August

Great Blog! Thanks for being so enthusiastic. Coincidentally, I am leading a group of 7 faculty and students to KNUST and surrounding villages on July 22, arriving at the KNUST campus on evening of July 23. I have been in some contact with Amy and Ben about how we can help. We will be there all day July 24 to do some last minute planning before visiting our village of Domeabra on the following three days. Please pass on our willingness to help out and feel free to email me at asuprof@gmail.com. Thanks.
