It’s raining Grand Finales, and ECX has one too! 💃
Happy New Month!
Recently, there have been several reported cases of people falling ill due to the Cholera outbreak here in Lagos, Nigeria. Your safety and well-being are very important, so we urge you to be cautious regarding what and where you eat. Your health is your greatest asset, so we want you to endeavor to research the various ways to exercise safety while living the best of your lives. Also, we need you to be healthy at our grand finale 😉.
As we draw the curtains down on ECX 4.0, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to you, our MVP, for all the work you’ve put into making this edition a tremendous success. But hold on, we aren’t quite done yet. We need your energy and dedication for one final push, our Grand Finale! 🚀
Grand Finale
The ECX 4.0 Grand Finale, themed “Next-Gen Leaders: Driving The Technological Revolution,” will take place on August 6, 2024, at the J. F. Ade Ajayi Auditorium, University of Lagos.
The ECX grand finale is not just about closing out another successful edition of ECX. We are also celebrating four years of training students in vital technical and soft skills. Pretty huge, right?
As usual, we have prepared many interesting activities and intentionally selected a line-up of speakers to benefit you. We will be sharing this with you very soon. 😉
So, what are you waiting for? Mark the 6th of August on your calendar, share this information with all your friends, and brace yourself to attend our grand finale!
Speaking of revolutionary creations, we can’t talk about next-gen leaders without crediting the people who have set the pace by inventing solutions that have impacted so many lives.
Ire Aderinokun, Cofounder, COO, and VP of Engineering of Helicarrier.
Odunayo Eweniyi, Cofounder/COO at PiggyVest.
Folayemi Agusto, CEO and Co-founder of Tix Africa,
Shola Akinlade and Ezra Olubi, Founders of Paystack.
Abiola Rasaq, Founder Of The Bug Detective.
This list could go on and on. These people and what they built are constant reminders that great things can be done from a small place. Now, the question we pose to you is: How do you plan on inspiring the next generation of leaders?
Enjoying this so far?
UNILAG Exams
For the UNILAG students in our community, exams are only about a month away. It’s the business end of not just the semester but the session, so it's time to start burning the midnight oil. Let’s secure those academic comebacks and end the session on a high!
Here’s a couple tips from us:
In case you haven’t already, make sure you set up your reading timetable and stick to it. Discipline and consistency >>> intensity
Try to get your work done within the day and cut out the overnights. Sleep deprivation can have serious health effects and isn’t the flexible option you think it is.
Or you can take the alternative route and do this:
ECX Hackathon
Is it really our grand finale without a showcase of tech skills? But we have added a twist to this hackathon. Show us your creativity by bringing your ideas to enhance existing applications! What we’re trying to say is that, instead of building from scratch, you have the opportunity to make that change to that application.
I want to add ****** to **********. I obviously won’t share my ideas with you 🫵😂. If you want to beat my idea and win prizes, register now!
