LAGOSTECH at Science Day 2026: “Whose future?”
On 15 November LAGOSTECH brings Computer Village to Leuven: a ten-minute game at Dag van de Wetenschap, and an open invitation to chat about Lagos’s tech sector.
On Sunday 15 November 2026 LAGOSTECH brings Computer Village to Leuven. As part of Dag van de Wetenschap, the Flemish Science Day, we run a drop-in game stand at KU Leuven’s Campus Gasthuisberg from 14:00 to 17:00.
In Whose future? Imagining technology from Lagos, visitors play one of four real lives from Lagos’s tech economy: a street connector, a phone repairer, a self-taught cloud engineer and a start-up founder. They pay what the market takes in a year and then try to reach a future for 2036, from a laptop to learn to code to a move to Canada. Every price and quote comes from our interviews in Lagos. The game makes one finding of the project tangible: the futures people can imagine depend on where they stand.
A play takes about ten minutes, but the real point is the conversation that follows: I will be at the stand all afternoon, happy to chat about Lagos’s tech sector, Computer Village and its repairers, and what LAGOSTECH has found so far. Come and play, or just come and ask.
Free, no registration, in English, from 16 years old. Entrance hall of building ON1, Herestraat 49, Leuven. More details on the official Science Day page.
