After months of planning, countless emails, sponsor outreach, community workshops, and late nights, we successfully hosted the Build with AI Makerere Hackathon in partnership with Google Build with AI and Major League Hacking (MLH).
The event brought together student developers from universities across Uganda to build AI-powered solutions addressing real-world challenges using Gemini, Google AI Studio, and Google Cloud.
Along the way, I learned invaluable lessons about:
Building partnerships and securing sponsorships
Planning and organizing a hackathon from scratch
