James Maina Atua Musoma Information Center Kuleta kitu kipya

James Maina Kutoka Nairobi kenya akiwa ni Mwalimu mzoefu wa mambo ya Design akitokea katika shirika la Nairobits School of Digital Design( www.nairobits.com).Alipewa nafasi ya kuweza kuwatembelea wanafunzi wa Musoma Information Center ambacho ni chuo kinachofundisha mambo ya webdesign and Programming kwa lugha ya kitaalam kuweza kuwaletea kitu kigeni katika mafunzo yao. Alikuja Musoma kwa ajili ya kuwafundisha vijana kitu kigeni kinaitwa "Information Architecture". na "Design/Creative thinking".

Kiukweli hapa vijana walipata nafasi ya kuweza kujifunza mambo muhimu sana ambayo wanatakiwa kuyafanya wanapokuwa wamewapata wateja wao wa kumtengenezea tovutu ( website)
Vijana walipata kujua ni jinsi gani anaweza kuongea na mteja wake na pia walipewa mwanga juu ya vitu ambavyo mteja wake anafaa kumpatia ili aweze kumtengenezea tovuti.
Pia walielekezwa jinsi gani wao kama web designer wanaweza kukaa chini na kupangilia mfumo mzima wa tovuti itakavyokaa na kuendana na hitaji la mteja wake.

JAMES MAINA akiwa katika maandalizi ya kipindi maana hakuna jambo zuri ambalo litafanyika bila maandalizi

Wanachuo wa Musoma Information Center walipomapata ujuzi huo kutoka kwa bwana James Maina ilifikia wakati wa kuanza kufanya kwa vitendo na kama unavyoona katika picha hawa ni baadhi ya wanachuo wakiwa katika zoezi la kuonesha ni nini wamejifunza kutoka kwa Bwana James.

Mmoja kati ya wanachuo waliopata mafunzo hayo akijulikana kama " Uyanjo Yakobo" akijaribu kuweka maelekezo aliyoyapata katika karatasi hatimae ayahamishie katika computer.

Ushirikiano katika kusoma ni jambo la kujenga sana, kwa sababu ukileta nilichokipata na mimi nikaleta changu tunakuwa na kitu kizima tuliokanyaga umande tunalitambua hilo.

Baada ya majadiliano twende kazi sasa kutoka kushoto Janepha Nassoro, Victor Mandara na Shekha Khamisi wakiwa katika harakati za kutaka kumwonesha Bwana James Maina kuwa safari yake kutoka Nairobi Kenya Hadi Musoma Tanzania haijaenda bure kuna kitu kweli kaleta.

Please, Make Some Noise........

LIVE ON AIR……..Go Musoma Information Center students, Sunday the 25^th August 2013 came and everyone was set and ready to Pause, Play and Rewind once again, this was the moment we’ve been waiting or planning for, the past three months time.

We got our left and right foot in motion in the early morning times headed to Radio Victoria F.M for the interview, Child Rights was the Topic of the Day and we embraced it with a lot of confidence because we had prepared our self well, for the Radio Show two days before the Big Day, we also got a chance to tell the community about our center and most of all what we teach and how it can Help the community at large,our surrounding and many more.

This being the first time for all our students, on live recording in a Radio Station!! Believe you me, you could feel their Heart beat  through the Microphone and it was a lot of Fun, to be told by the Home Neighbors’ that they Tune In to listen and some of them calling in during the Live Show.

Graduation Time

It was yet again time, for the course two and three students to graduate! Parents, friends, organization partners, grandmothers, and grandfathers all we present to grace the event not forgetting the graduate’s in the house.

The ceremony began with a dance from the students then followed the trainers of Musoma Information center. But we had to say a prayer to the Almighty Lord first, and I student by the name of Uyanjo Yakobo lead us through, then we we’re ready to start. Our Guest of honor was none other than, the one and only…Geoffrey Otieno from Nairobits Main Center in Nairobi, Kenya.

Finally at around noon we we’re done with the ceremony, what followed next was refreshment time and picture taking with family and friends, but what everyone was waiting for,was the after graduation Beach trip and Lunch which is a tradition in Tanzania, and who was I (the trainers) to say No!!

Back at One

Happy People!! It has been long till we made any Post or happening about Musoma Information Center, but hold your horses, because we’re back here to stay and better than before.

A lot has been happing on our side, but we’re we looking for a Swahili Blogger, I mean the best of the best when it comes to writing Kiswahili sanifu.

First of all we start with our Present event on the list; Last month on June was one of the busiest months of our calendar. We had Fun activities, Educational trips, Graduations and workshop at hand, Students at the center had a lot of experience on both ends of every activity.

Let me share with you the first event and how it went down, on the 21^st of June 2013 w e had a basketball rematch with volunteers from the Anglican Church in Canada, whom came for the second match because we had WON!! The first match, Believe you me this was a breath taking match and one can’t forget. Both the girls and boys at our center showed up in Epic style and Fashion, the match started on a positive note this time we we’re not lucky at all, because only one basket got us feeling low. Our Canadians friends won by one three point shoot to win the match but, all in all it was I nice way to network with them and fun too.

Have a look at this photos below.

Parents Meeting

We hosted a parents meeting on the Thursday, 13th September 2012 at the Center.

The meeting was an open forum where parents got to know more about Musoma Information Center, while being briefed on the Organizations' training curriculum. It was also a great opportunity for parents to have a glimpse of what their children interact with while at the Center.

In addition to this, was how the parents are going to lias with the Organization in supporting their loved ones, was discussed in depth.

Visit From Nairobits Top Designer

Tuesday, 18^th September  was a wonderful day for all at Musoma Information center as we got a visit from one of Nairobits prominent Designer/Trainer, Geoffrey Otieno, better known as ‘Ray or Otesh’.

His one of our staff members, He was here to teach students on i.e., Aspects about Design, Business management, and Branding.  We web designers share a lot with the other visual artists; and in a specific way, he concentrated on the aspect of color and space.

He used things around us to explain his points to the core. No doubt everyone got out of the talk with something new. Personally (though this wasn’t part of the topic) I was truly perplexed to learn that when one wakes up after 7am in the morning, possibilities of making it in life are low.

Later on, the media labers got a chance to hear from Geoffrey who talked to them on the matters they really needed to hear, internship and employment, in a more general way let me call it the real world for a web designer.

He has been through a lot in the outside world, and so kind to share each and every story from out there.

This got others scared and others more determined. On behalf of the media labers I extend my thanks to Geoffrey and on behalf of the whole Musoma Infomation Center family, thanks so much

 Otesh a.k.a TOP SHATTAR!!!

As the two weeks came to an End!! the students were left with Full loaded skills on the making of High tech logo's from Adobe Illustrator, it was really a wonder to see the students per-taking each step to the lander starting from a sketch of Five personal logo drawings and reduce them to three out of five, then to the last one, that you think represents him/her as a person.and the only way to give thanks to Geoffrey was by showing him the final look of each students logo
