Fulbright at Stanford
I am fortunate enough to have been awarded a Fulbright fellowship that allows me to spend 1 year at Stanford University, USA as a visiting scholar.
The first week was already action packed, I saw great students presentations from classes that dealt with technology solutions for 3rd world problems in Africa, supported by Nokia's Jofish and Tico, and mechanical engineering projects done in teams with Berlin's Hasso-Plattner Institute and a university in Helsinki, sponsored by Samsung, Mini etc. Each team had several thousand dollars as a budget and presented to their industry partner in the end.
I also attended the first Fulbright event, and will twitter more about individual events when they arise.
Today is the beginning of week two.
