Participant Feedback

  • Keziah (Uganda): “I kept on putting off the thought of beginning serious network programming until I attended the Hackathon. Hackathon@AIS opened my eyes to automating and managing network devices with the help of Python programming language. It helped me rediscover and re-invent myself. I now get to work on uncomfortably exciting projects. ”
