ADAPT IT Hackathon - Helping grow young talent

Written by Adapt IT | Oct 13 2019

On the 28th of September 2019, computer science students from Wits University Johannesburg, South Africa, participated in the Adapt IT | Telecoms Social Good Hackathon. The students had 10 hours to build a FINTECH Solution using code and epic brain matter. This included building a "Taxi Money" project where they made use of a mobile wallet and QR codes to exchange money in the system. They also got a chance to play the role of a Bank, User-Agent and Service Provider. Towards the end of the event, Adapt IT awarded two students vacation work. These two lucky students will get mentored and get a chance to be a part of the Adapt IT team. I would like to give special thanks to Ndamu Gumane for all this effort and hard work in organizing this event. We look forward to the next oneā€¦
