About this event
Through the theme of Black progress, back in 2023 we honoured the work of Black inventors, writers and activists that have made a significant impact on society.
Over this 2-day event a group of Made Tech employees and others participated in a hackathon with the goal of creating a technology project that celebrates Black innovators. It didn’t matter if they were an engineer, designer, product manager or if they’ve never looked at a line of code before – all roles were welcome.
To know more about how the event went and the outcomes, you can watch our Blackathon on-demand webinar.
