Interviews (Wednes)day
Spent the day at the University, meeting with each of the 9 groups individually. The day actually started off with a planned meeting with the whole class at 2p, but we ended up meeting and interviewing each group from 11 in the morning, all the way to 5 in the evening.
One of the downsides of being the only person here is that you don't have much back-ups. I experienced this firsthand when my camera battery ran out in the afternoon. We had to use a student's laptop to record the rest of the interviews. Sub-optimal, but fairly good.
The interviews will be very helpful, as an addition to the formal reports students provided. It adds a touch of emotion to their reports, which (hopefully) will enable Stanford students to connect more. Also, it introduces the UoNairobi team - who, by the way, are super excited about this project. Every team here asked about ways to still be involved - which is amazing. My hope is that the two sides will continue to collaborate and communicate.
Note to self: Videos are kept in the reports folder - copy it to the external hard drive.
Special thanks to Judy Wawira, for her expert cinematography, and more importantly, for scheduling such a well-run day.
