Adapt IT Telecommunications recently hosted the 2022 Hackathon event at Wits University. This year’s theme was “Social Good in Africa”. To sum up, a total of 100 registrations was obtained with 64 students who completed the project. The students came together with one goal in mind, to come up with ideas for resolving the food crisis in Africa. They were challenged to develop a program that allowed everyday people to seamlessly donate food at allocated drop off centres. This would then be delivered to preselected institutions like hospitals, schools, and NGOs. Two of the program’s requirements were that the inventory should update with each item delivered and incentivise donors with a reward system when their tasks are completed.
