What a Hackathon is: A marathon of hacking (ethically) to solve social, business
and/or economical challenges. Ideally, no one goes home and everyone works non-stop
to build a tech/digital solution.
Young innovators will work in teams with government
digital ambassadors and industry mentors to develop ideas and prototypes for improving
service delivery. The Ignite Hackathon took place on 28 - 30 September as part of the Service
Delivery month at the University of Johannesburg Kingsway
Campus, Auckland Park.
The 2018 Theme: Youth Spark - Igniting Youth Action Towards Improved Service Delivery.
* If you were a decision maker in Government for 1 weekend, what would you build to enhance service delivery?
