Claude Community Kenya presents its first-ever hackathon — a full-day, in-person building sprint for developers across Nairobi. Whether you're coming solo or with a team of up to three, this is your chance to ship something real using Claude's API and Claude Code in a single day.
The build is open — no prescribed theme, no prescribed industry. If you can use Claude to solve a problem, tell a story, automate a workflow, or create something entirely new, it qualifies. Projects will be judged on real-world impact, technical execution, innovation, and how well teams demo their work.
The winner walks away with a Claude Code Max subscription. All registered participants receive CCK T-shirts and stickers.
