Africa's Hardware Revolution

From Spark to Ignition

A Mega Hardware Conference this November, followed by 3 weeks of intensive practical hardware bootcamp and a hackathon.

At the University of Nigeria, Nsukka — open to students and to anyone else who wants to build. Whatever you study, and whether or not you have ever touched a circuit.

This bootcamp runs at UNN Nsukka. We are coming to other selected universities across South-East Nigeria next — at least one in each state. Register anyway and we will tell you when we reach yours.

Three things, one programme

It is more than a bootcamp

A mega hardware conference, three weeks of intensive bootcamp, then a hackathon. One registration covers whichever of them you want.

The conference

A mega hardware technology conference opens the programme — talks, demos and speakers from across Nigeria and around the world.

Tell us where you are starting from

The last three questions matter most. We read every one of them and shape the sessions around what people actually say — we would rather meet you at your need than teach at you.
