University of Ibadan IEEE DAY 2023

#IEEEDay #STEM #ibadan #university #student #general #professional

IEEE Day 2023 at the University of Ibadan Student Branch was an exciting event, gathering current and prospective members, in celebration of the first time engineers gathered to share technical ideas in 1884. Held at Opolo Innovation Hub, our theme speaker was Demilade Odetara(ex-UISB member), Founder at Pledre and Co-Founder of one of the most notable startups in the city, Heyfood(YC W22). Demilade spoke on the topic "Leveraging Technology for a Better Tomorrow", which eventually became an interactive Q&A session as we discussed his personal and professional journey in the world of technology. Key learnings were:

- Find problems to solve, as many as you can

- Become near obsessed with these problems

- Learn to fail, and to fail continuously.

Our second speaker was Olufemi Balogun, another ex-University of Ibadan Student Branch member and Chair, now IEEE Nigeria Section SIGHT Group Chair and Founder, VAAV Innovative Solutions. Femi spoke on the topic "Designing for Humanity", as we discussed building and advancing technology for humanitarian purposes.

Overall, IEEE Day 2023 at the University of Ibadan Student Branch was a fantastic experience for all who attended, with technical and non-technical learnings, and a brilliant networking opportunity for members to meet themselves.
