Agenda

  • Round-robin introductions (including personal backgrounds)

  • “Message in a bottle to the future” reflection exercise

  • Reintroduction of Logos principles and context for new members

  • Revisit and refine the Winnable Issue

  • Exploration of potential project expansions

  • Early-stage role discussions and stakeholder alignment

Topics Discussed

1. Winnable Issue: Civil Tech Education for Kids

The Circle reaffirmed its commitment to civic and technical education for children through:

  • Comics

  • Games

  • Story-based learning

A proposal emerged to expand into hardware education (e.g., teaching children computer assembly using Raspberry Pi and low-cost hardware). While aligned philosophically, the Circle declined this expansion for now due to financial and operational constraints.

The group chose to maintain focus and avoid scope creep, reinforcing a disciplined execution mindset.

2. Narrative & Content Development Framework

With NGO stakeholders present, the discussion deepened significantly around content structure and delivery. Key research and design considerations included:

  • Involving children throughout the creative process

  • Blending entertainment with education (psychological balance)

  • Multi-character and multi-story approach

  • Gender representation and inclusivity

  • Cultural relevance within the local African context

  • Writing styles and tone

  • Personification and relatability

  • Clear articulation of the core civic message

Stakeholders working directly with children’s education initiatives committed to supporting research and validation.

3. Topic Direction

Through stakeholder input, core themes to explore include:

  • Artificial Intelligence

  • Decentralization

  • Online privacy and safety

  • Digital sovereignty

These themes will guide research and narrative drafting.

Outcomes

  • Strategic Discipline: The Circle resisted expansion into hardware education to protect execution focus.

  • Early Role Allocation: Initial responsibilities discussed; further clarification required.

  • Research Phase Initiated: Narrative research and thematic development to be compiled before the next session.

  • Timeline Expectation: Target to complete the first full comic/game framework within approximately three months.

  • Partnerships: Ongoing conversations with tech-education-for-kids organizations progressing positively.

Community Energy

  • High energy and engagement.

  • Increased seriousness and accountability.

  • Some members have volunteered proactively.

  • Clear shift toward execution readiness.

  • Expectation that more structured volunteer roles will emerge as project clarity increases.

Next Steps

  • Consolidate narrative research

  • Define story arc and character framework

  • Formalize working groups (Research, Writing, Illustration, Technical/Game Dev)

  • Transition next meetup into an execution-focused working session
