Education exhibition

Last week I took part in a higher education exhibition organized by the National Council for Higher Education in Uganda. The exhibition attracted over 70 universities, other tertiary institutions, and private entities with links to higher education. The aim was for the institutions to all congregate under one roof (in this case two due to the large number of participants) and show what academic treats they each have on offer. The target audience was secondary school students -- and indeed they turned up in big numbers!

It turned out to be quite a treat (in academic terms). However, what caught my eye was the vast array of decorative colours on display at some of the stalls. You can see a few here.

Students from the African Music Institute practice their craft at the exhibition.

The National Council for Higher Education had a colourful stall.

The Muni University Project stall... not bad for a project!

This textbook group made quite and impression.

Now this is full of colour!

Simplicity at its best!

Saving for the future... simple, yet neat.

Good colour combination.

The mechanism of an auto electrical system. It was impressive to see it in plain sight.

Well done!

Wow... that calls for a toast!

Wonderful display in the background.

Nice... but a little crowded.

On the final day of the exhibition, just as the most exhibitors were done packing and ready to load their stuff on/in their respective modes of transportation, the unexpected happened. The heavens opened and it bucketed down in typical tropical thunderstorm fashion! It caused instant flooding, which kept all of us indoors for about half an hour!

The storm wasn't about to be overshadowed!

The water had nowhere to go, quite unfortunate!
