UWAPIBATA, boda boda official, and Robotech/TOIO hosted a meeting that brought almost 80 local drivers willing to learn and understand more about e-bikes. This meeting brought to light information regarding the distance and charging covered, along with the use of swapping stations. The session got a lot of insight and questions on how one can attain the vehicles in the long term. We were truly honored and excited with the responses as well as turn out from the community as we begin scaling and bringing a more significant impact with our vision for a sustainable and scalable future.

This was a community survey meeting with regards to e mobility, where both bike riders and interested members attended the meeting to get better insights on e bike as well as schemes on being able to attain one in the near future

Training sessions at VETA

We started training sessions at VETA where students and teachers get first hand experience working with micro controllers and sensors.

We were honored and humbled to present our report to the city council leaders our outcomes of the Hackathon. The members were truly impressed and asked us to continue our pursuit in enabling as well as bringing access to technology to the people and youth in Tanga. Some of the biggest visits we had included the city Director herself, making a personal visit and observing the outcomes, as well as the Regional Commissioner too who was taken by surprise on how much we were able to achieve over the period. We also had a few international guests making visits to our site after the compelling story shared by the city council authorities on the media.

Community Training Programs

After the successful visit of the wards, we scheduled sessions on a weekly basis where we began teaching people how to assemble, build and scale the projects particularly in Agriculture and E-Mobility on how to scale.

Community Outreach

After a successful spell of tinkering, prototyping and developing, it was time to share this outcome both with the local authorities as well as the community members. We began by visiting all the 27 wards in Tanga sharing our experiences and outcomes, welcoming them to come and access the space to learn what we have built with their inputs.
