Five students from University of Nairobi, Kenya, starting from March 2021 will be participating in a research project organized by the Open  University-UK  (approved by the OU Human Research Ethics Committee - reference number: HREC/3832)  which aims to advance the understanding of how COVID-19 is affecting inclusive higher education in Low-and-Middle Income Countries.

Please introduce yourself? My name is Joseph Suhudu. I am a fourth year student pursuing a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electric and Information Engineering.

Field of study and motivation behind it? Growing up, I was always fascinated by the technology and how it works.  For example, why a radio can talk to me and why I cannot talk back to it and what makes it do what it does and why can’t it do what I want it to do. I wanted to understand the systems and I figured out that Electrical and Information Engineering was the best way to do that.

Abundant Karanja, a first year student studying Urban Planning at the University of Nairobi, was among the students who presented his innovation at the UoN Talent day on Friday March 12, 2021. He had a one-on-one chat with Corporate Affairs office and this is what he had to say.

Kindly introduce yourself: My name is Abundant Karanja Chege, I am 19-years old from Murang'a County. I am a first year student at the University of Nairobi, pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Urban and Regional Planning.
