AR/VR Africa Community

AR/VR Africa is a community of content creators, enthusiasts, creatives, developers and technologists who are keen about making a difference with Augmented and Virtual Reality. We are changing the narrative here in Africa, as creators and not just consumers of technology.

The AR/VR Africa Hackathon

Calling all who love creativity, innovation and learning! The AR/VR Africa Hackathon is an African competition and opportunity to create with, and learn about Virtual and Augmented Reality. This is also an opportunity to meet new people, and get hands-on experience with AR and VR design and development.

10 countries

The Hackathon will be hosted in 17 cities across Africa.

2020 Hackathon

This year's hackathon will happen in two stages: the online stage and the 48-hour nonstop hackathon grand finale

Participants will be part of a continent-wide community of learners. The online learning community will have access to learning materials, mentors, and resources to increase your knowledge of extended reality technologies and how to build real-world solutions using this technology. We are curating a series of workshops and masterclasses to support this online learning, as well as sponsored online challenges for participants to tackle.
