Projects, events, and initiatives we drive as a community
Fusion Tech Fest 2024
Gen Z Hackfest 2024 was bigger and better than ever! This time, we teamed up with our friends at CodeSpace Africa to make it a truly unforgettable experience. The week-long event included a five-day hackathon and a one-day in-person conference, bringing together techies from all over. Fusion Tech Fest 2024 wasn’t just an event—it was a celebration of what we can achieve together!
Gen Z Hackfest 2023
Building on the success of previous years, Gen Z Hackfest 2023 was a dynamic week-long hackathon complemented by a one-day in-person conference. We connected over 600 Gen-Zs, challenging them to apply their creativity and coding skills to develop solutions addressing pressing issues both within the continent and globally.
AltSchool Africa Office Tour
Our visit to AltSchool Africa was an enlightening experience. AltSchool Africa is a digital based learning platform dedicated to equipping individuals with in-demand tech skills. The tour showcased their commitment to accessible education and talent development across Africa.
Seerbit Office Tour
We had the privilege of visiting SeerBit, a leading pan-African payment platform that empowers businesses to process seamless online and offline payments across Africa. This tour provided our community with firsthand insights into their innovative payment solutions driving commerce on the continent.
Gen Z Hackfest 2022
Gen Z Hackfest 2022 is a three-day virtual hackathon and a one-day in-person conference aimed to connect Gen Z-s in tech across Africa. We hosted over 2,500 ambitious Gen-Zs (virtually & in-person) to put their creative and coding skills to test and build solutions to problems in Africa and beyond.
Paystack Office Tour
We visit leading tech companies to learn about their operations and expose GenZtechies to the challenges of developing products for Africa and beyond. Stripe acquired Paystack, an African-based company for $200 million dollars. We were more than excited to be at Paystack’s HQ in 2022!
AMA (Ask Me Anything)
If GenZtechies aren’t building or launching innovative solutions, they’re making waves in the tech world with their groundbreaking startups. AMAs are fun and inspiring, they help us to connect with a GenZ doing something amazing. We get to ask tons of questions about their passions, personal journeys, and everything in between.
Gen-Z Meet
During and post the Covid-19 lockdown, virtual meetings became a thing for everyone. School, work, and a huge part of our lives became virtual. GenZtechies unleashed the hacker in us and spent months building our open-source web conferencing platform serving thousands of users since launch.
