MLH? 🤔

MLH’s Local Hack Day, a global hackathon, is a celebration of learning, building, and sharing! This is the fifth year that MLH is organizing the local hacking day.

Heroes 🦸‍♀️

The MLH Local Hack Day at Esis Salama (my University 🏫) has been successfully organized and this is the first time this is happening in the DRC 🇨🇩. This is an initiative of a group of student volunteers ( Jean Luc Kabulu “ Developer Student Clubs Lead ”, Dan Kyungu “ Microsoft student partner Lead”, Eric Ampire “Kotlin Lubumbashi User Group Lead” , Nathan Bangwa “Microsoft student partner”, and with great support from a teacher: Eddysha Jabulani “Microsoft Certified Trainer) to help people to learn to program by creating useful micro-products. The motto is — Build to learn and learn to build. It was only an aptitude for them to collaborate with Hack to Learn volunteers.
