Coming up next

If you’re planning ahead, April 11th is looking like a big day for the dev community. The Full Stack Web Builders are meeting at Ngong Road, and there’s a collaborative hackathon in Baba Dogo targeting real-world challenges in the refugee space.

Nairobi’s strength is in these smaller meetups and deep dives. Use this week to prep, connect, and keep building.
