Enter the Synthesis Chai FM Hackathon Competition
Synthesis is excited to be hosting its annual hackathon. Once-to-twice a year, we take 24-hours and commit this time to build an awesome minimal viable product (MVP). This year, we decided to do something different and to use the hackathon for social good.
One of the greatest challenges that South Africa faces is gender-based violence. This hackathon will have a stream dedicated to tackling this problem and to using technology to help alleviate this problem.
Radio ChaiFm and Synthesis Technologies have partnered to find solutions but we want to team up with you! We invite you to join us! Come up with an app or tech idea to address gender-based violence in SA and stand a chance to win R5 000. You might even have your tech build in our hackathon. Submit your ideas to [email protected] and help us develop technology for good.
