The primary objective of the hackathon is to positively impact young Nigerians by providing a platform for aspiring entrepreneurs and innovators to develop transformative technological capabilities, collaboratively create practical tech solutions, and refine their coding skills.

Participants will have the exclusive opportunity to utilize Squad’s cutting-edge APIs in bringing their ideas to life.

The two-day event promises an action-packed schedule, with intense coding sessions on day one and engaging activities such as product demos, panel discussions, and the announcement of winners on day two.

The team with the most innovative idea will receive a prize of N2.5 million, the first runner-up will be awarded N1.5 million, and the third-placed team will get N1 million.
