Tuhack Tuomoke.
Hack ton Futur is an innovation competition for high school students. It challenges them to use technology to solve real problems in their own sector. The latest Kenyan edition was dedicated to digital agriculture.
The concept
Digital agriculture, seen by the next generation.
How might technology support farmers? Think of digital tools, services or platforms for crop monitoring, weather prediction or market connectivity.
Taking part is simple: be a student in a Kenyan high school, form a team of four, and submit your project as a presentation of eight slides maximum. No prototype is required, but do tell us if you have one.
It is up to you to come up with an innovative solution that will improve agriculture in Kenya.
