As i had promised some time back to ,
and
that i will be promoting Steemit to my former university.
The semester opened early this month and i had been talking to students individually.
I was a former student of Uganda Christian University.
This is among the best and biggest universities in my country Uganda.
It is located in the central part of the country.
This is my first post in a series of posts to come promoting Steemit to Uganda.
It offers many faculties as any university would have,you can check out our website here http://www.ucu.ac.ug.
I have started with our former faculty:Faculty of Science and Technology(FOST)
It is natural for me to start at my former faculty and also my former class,Computer Science.
Today i talked to a group of Bs.Computer Science final year students.
After i finished my studies here,i also got an opportunity to volunteer at this prestigious university.
That means i have many friends and can easily relate with many students.
Presenation
I do not have a formal slide i used,so i just introduced Steemit by visting the website and explaining everything.
This is a computer science class and it was easy to explain crypto currency.
I was aided by a fellow Steemian who signed up a few days back and got his account approved.
This wonderful Steemian helpedintroduce me to his classmates.
gave a brief intro about cryto and let me start on Steemit.
Photos
Please forgive the quality of the phone camera shots,the room had dim lighting!
I started by showing them the first page or home page of Steemit that reads money talks as shown below.
I also explained the difference of the four tabs:
- Trending
- Hot
- New
- Promoted
I also showed them my profile,this makes it easier to believe,because i am some one they know.
I showed them through my profile and a few of my posts and told them to check my profile on their individual computers as shown below by this guy.
I answered the biggest question of all before it was asked!
How do i withdraw my money
Here i took them through the procedure from blocktrades to actual cash!
This part of money garnered more attention as seen here below
I showed how Steem Dollars are converted to Bitcoins on Blocktrades before we can also send the bitcoins to another user who can offer real cash.
After that i showed them the converted bitcoins and showed them how much i could withdraw.
I have a friend who is a bitcoin buyer and seller,so i told them no need to worry about the money part,as this friend of mine can buy their coins!
I told them we also have Ugandans who buy and sell bitcoins localbitcoins.
The presentation understood was well as i answered a few questions here
We closed the presentation and also took a few more shots outside the class.
Many of them promised to sign up later as they were heading for another class.
I will post their names when their accounts have been approved.
Special thanks to our photographer today who is here below
I answered a few more questions outside before we departed![after.jpg]
