What the Hackathon Scene Means for Nairobi

There's something happening in Nairobi's tech community that doesn't get enough coverage.

Every month, somewhere in the city, a group of engineers, designers, and builders gather to solve a real problem in 48 hours. No salaries. No KPIs. Just curiosity and coffee.

Why It Matters

These events are where cross-pollination happens. The backend engineer learns what a user flow is. The designer learns what an API constraint feels like. The community gets stronger.
