#Hack, Mission Kampala’s annual hackathon is back for 2018. In October, join Christian technologists from across the Uganda and beyond to kick start projects and share ideas that integrate your Christian faith and your technical skill set.
It brings together people from different professions to come and find solutions to the different hindrances to the fulfillment of the Great Commission and how this can be solved. Different challenges are given to different teams and at the end of the event of two days, results are expected to be presented by the different teams. The projects that stand out are then polished and made smarter such that they can be used as resources to aid evangelism and discipleship in the different areas.
Whether you’re a developer, designer, project manager, student, enguneer, mission worker, branding/marketing expert, ideator or something else entirely different, you’ll enjoy taking a weekend to meet and work with others who share your desire to see God glorified through technology.
Here’s what one person said about #Hack in 2016: "Have never been in a seeting where Faith and technology are directly linked."
