Major Announcement
HackOps 1.0 is getting bigger and we have exciting updates to share! Look out for the update icon on this page to see what has changed. We are keeping all the best parts of the hackathon and adding a little extra.
Welcome to HackOps 1.0
Building for productivity.
Due to an increasing need for efficiency in day-to-day and business activities, productivity is a universal concern across industries, driving the need for innovative solutions to streamline workflows and optimize efficiency. Imagine being able to upload pictures of your meals to a simple app, that uses AI to estimate the amount of calories making it possible to regulate your calorie intake efficiently, by focusing on productivity, developers can leverage their skills to create impactful applications and tools that enhance individual and organizational performance.
We encourage participants to think out of the box and harness emerging technologies to develop solutions that address real-world productivity needs. Ultimately, this hackathon aims to foster innovation, collaboration, and problem-solving skills amongst developers across Africa.
