Day 1

The workshop was to start by 12noon because the first day was for Installation and Introduction to Git But by 9:00am or there about I received a call from one of the Participant named Timi. Timi was asking of the location of the Workshop from Rumola (For those of you that don’t base in Port Harcourt, Rumola is a location in Port Harcourt). First, I was surprised and confused because I didn’t know if i should tell her to go back to her house since the workshop will be starting by 12noon But still, i had no option but to tell her how to get to the Venue(Yelocode Systems).

I got to the Venue and i met the Boss herself…Oluwayetty. Yetty is a Software Developer in Andela, Nigeria and also the co-founder of TechInPink. I was so happy meeting her in person after some many months of communicating with her on Phone.

Then we were waiting for the two(2) other coaches(David and Amos) to arrive. I called Amos to know his location and Yetty called David to know his location too But something funny happened. Guess What?

David was in Rumumasi( One of the Rumu’s in Port Harcourt) and some of the things David mentioned that was close to where he assumed was the community hall in Rumumasi was also close to Elekahia commuity hall.

First, Elekahia community hall is painted with a yellow paint and the community hall in Rumumasi is also painted with a yellow paint. David said there is a Christ Embassy Church signboard close to the building and also there is a Christ Embassy Church signboard close to Elekahia community hall. David said there is a transformer close to the building and same thing in Elekahia community hall. Yetty and 1 spent close to 30mins by the road side looking for David. (lol)

To cut the whole story short, David and Amos arrived. The workshop started with a game(Zoom, Short and Sukippu)…lol

Next was an Intro to TechInPink by Yetty, were everyone introduced their selves, and then Intro to git by David; setting up and installation of rails on their laptops.

Though the participant were not much but they all have the zeal to learn.

One thing i learnt was that, is not actually the numbers of people that came for the workshop but the impact that was made.

We had more of total beginners in the workshop. They were all anxious to learn and were all excited they came.

We had fun…There were lot of things to eat, talked about some tech movies, cracked some jokes. The workshop was just full of funny personalities.

Yetty and I have some special characteristics in common…..Guess

We love food But we are not fat… lol and we love to snap pictures

After the workshop yetty tasted ofe mmiri(ofor soup) and she did’nt regret tasting it because it was delicious.

Day 2

Day 2 was not different from Day 1. We had Game, breakfast and lunch(Yes..very important!) and the participant built their first blog using Rails and for the first time we had guys attend our event (TechInPink).

They were all excited like you see the excitement on their faces.

Yetty shared her inspiring story and finally Pictures(You know the fun will not be complete without pictures….lol)
