We are pleased to inform that BRAC is hosting its first ever Hackathon, called BRACathon from 4-5 December 2015! It will be held in BRAC University Auditorium. BRACathon intends to provide a platform from which participants could compete to provide useful mobile applications that will contribute to address social challenges and BRAC’s overall organizational efficiency as well. As BRAC aims to champion the cause of social change through the use of technology, BRACathon is one of many initiatives that it will take under the banner of promoting digital innovation in Bangladesh in the coming years. Industry leaders will attend and judge the effectiveness of the solutions.
Winners of BRACathon will not only get funding commitment from BRAC to help them develop their apps but may also get the opportunity to participate in FBstart, a program from Facebook which help mobile startups succeed by providing an exclusive community, worldwide events, mentorship opportunities, and up to USD 80,000 in free tools and services specific to social good developers.
