The CONCEPT
#HackTonFutur is an Innovation Competition designed for High School students. It challenges students to leverage technology to solve sector-specific problems. We believe innovation is central in creating the future we desire, thus the appellation #HackYourFuture or as we dubbed the Kenyan edition: Tuhack Tuomoke!
This year’s theme is Digital Agriculture.
Consider the significance of digital agriculture. How might technology be integrated to support farmers? Reflect on digital tools, services or platforms that could aid in crop monitoring, weather prediction or market connectivity.
