“We aim to accelerate innovation and entrepreneurship by enabling Caribbean youth to create community improvement solutions integrating ICTs in a virtual, safe and collaborative environment.”
CARIRI announces new Hackathon for the Caribbean.
This year, the program went completely virtual in response to the COVID 19 pandemic, but also tripled the number of participating countries.
Key speakers this year will be Tobago-born Black Panther Animator Sekani Solomon, former Miss Universe, Wendy Fitzwilliam, and Ris Anne Martin, fashion designer from Brown Cotton Caribbean.
“Hackathons are a popular new forum for team collaboration and new-age creativity applied to software development,” said Esther Le Gendre, Chairman, iGovTT.
