Championing Innovation and Impact
Award categories and sponsorships will be announced in November 2024
This year, we’re not just about coding and creating; we’re once more about making a real-world impact that echoes far beyond the event itself.
A Legacy of Giving Back
Reflecting on the triumph of the last two editions of the Hackathon, our community came once more together to fully fund a scholarship for a gifted female developer from Uganda, who has since completed her training and obtained her certification. Last year, we were honored to welcome Vanessa Nalugya among us as a participant, allowing you to witness firsthand the profound difference your contributions can make.
Continuing Our Commitment
In 2025, we’re thrilled to continue our collaborative efforts with CloudFest and Groundbreaker on the Groundbreaker Talents initiative. providing scholarships for IT training to aspiring female developers in Uganda, equipping them with the skills to thrive in the digital landscape and contribute to a sustainable and accessible open web.
The Awards: Celebrating Your Impact
Our goal for this year’s Hackathon is to fund another full scholarship through the awards we present.
This is where our esteemed partner and attendee companies come in:
We invited them to sponsor an award category, contributing to a cause that extends the spirit of the Hackathon throughout the year and beyond.
How Can You Contribute?
Beyond your meaningful contributions to open-source projects during the CloudFest Hackathon – and possibly securing an award – you can individually support the project. Donations can be made through the Groundbreaker platform: Groundbreaker Donation Link.
