Maker Faire Africa (MFA) “a celebration of African ingenuity, innovation and invention” according to their website. It is hosted by AfriGadget and will take place August 14-16 at the Ghana-India Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT in Ghana’s capital, Accra.
On their blog, they urge the visitors to Maker Faire Africa to register by sending a text message with their name or email address to:
+233261685159
After you register, you will receive an SMS response containing a 8 digit hexadecimal confirmation number. When you show up at the event and give that number to us, you will be entered into a drawing where you have a chance to win a prize.
Still there’s no program for the event, so I don’t really know if it’ll be like a software development workshop, a conference, a fair, a market filled with African gadgets or a mix of all of the above (or something yet again different).
But maybe it is worth the chance/risk – this event is free to the general public!
Sharing is caring!
