Nairobi Innovation Village – Student Design Competition

13 years from now, where will you be? The year is 2030, most governments have set out goals and objectives they want to have met by then. They will want to review whether they met the set goals and set out new ones. The Kenyan government has not been left out either and we have our very own Vision 2030.

C4dLab is set out to build an innovation village at the Chiromo campus where innovators are provided with a creative space to develop their products or services. We already have a space allocated and we would like to invite students from the College of Architecture and Engineering, University of Nairobi for the STUDENT DESIGN COMPETITION, NAIROBI INNOVATION VILLAGE. The intent of the competition is to provide a practical design challenge for use in a creative architectural design.
