Anchored by our flagship event, the ETHAccra Hackathon, the project creates a platform for Web2 developers, students, entrepreneurs, and creatives to transition into the world of Web3. ETHAccra offers free, hands-on learning opportunities, including bi-weekly smart contract training sessions (Solidity Mondays), campus tours, community meetups, and mentorship programs. We have held \"Zero to dApp\" workshop sessions on 5+ university campuses each year in the buildup to the hackathon. These activities culminate in a high-impact hackathon, where participants build real-world decentralized solutions addressing local and global challenges.\n\nSince launching the initiative, we’ve successfully hosted two editions of the ETHAccra Hackathon (which was held at Ghana's Premier University - University of Ghana) - in 2023 and 2024 - bringing together over 400 builders from across Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Togo, and more. These events have helped launch early-stage projects, create hiring pipelines, and foster pan-African collaboration in the blockchain space.\n\nETHAccra aims to:\n\n1. Upskill African developers in smart contract development and Web3 technologies.\n2. Foster innovation by supporting developers in building practical decentralized applications.\n3. Bridge opportunity gaps by connecting African builders to global networks, grants, and mentorship.\n4. Increase diversity and inclusion, especially for female and underrepresented developers, through targeted programs like the Campus Tours and Solidity Mondays.\n5. Strengthen the African Web3 ecosystem by building a pipeline of talent ready to contribute to open-source protocols, startups, and DAOs", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "ethaccra"}
