This is our culture, a culture of craftmanship and collaboration; that's why we run monthly/quarterly hackathons at Andela around various themes.
Our next hack is scheduled for Friday, September 8, 2017 in both Lagos and Nairobi (and remotely). Details and Tickets can be found here:
Theme: Hack4Culture
Sponsors: P&C, Success
Organizers: Hackathon Committee, Sparks Society, Phoenix Society
Who should attend? This event is open to anyone at Andela. It is still open to remote participation for employees that can't get to either locations physically.
I don't have an idea on what to build, should I still attend? YES! People are going to pitch ideas on the final week towards the event and you can join any team whose idea you'll like.
I'm not a developer, should I attend? YES! You can still give your contribution through ideation, strategizing, etc.
Will there be prizes for winners? Our internal hackathons are not meant to be a competition but a time of collaboration and fun. We would like to see senior developers collaborating with junior developers; staff with fellows, Nairobi with Lagos, etc. However, top teams will be awarded.
