It's very exciting to see the Ghana hackathon coming along. With 18 proposals shortlisted, there are some amazing ideas in the mix that will start to be developed this week. Learn more about the Hackathon and follow along with the progress via the link below!

Our next hackathon is coming up soon - who's excited!? 🙋♀️ 🙋🏿♂️ 🙋🏽♀️ 🙋♂️ This hybrid in-person and virtual event will tackle the ever-growing concerns of sextortion and cyberbullying. Teams will collaborate on a novel approach to detect, mitigate, or educate users about cyberbullying or sextortion. The solution should be scalable, user-friendly, and have the potential for real-world implementation in the Ghanaian and African context. On the hackathon day, June 1, participants will prototype, pitch their ideas, and demonstrate the feasibility of their solutions to a panel of hackathon judges as well as their fellow hackathoners. We are excited to see what innovative ideas are developed in just a few weeks at the upcoming T&S Hackathon in Ghana!
