Community story
Kwang Tech Hub was created to provide hands-on experience to students in a region lacking practical, solution-oriented tech training structures. We support students and community members to develop culturally relevant solutions tailored to the environmental, social, and cultural context of their community.
The hub was born from a partnership between Disruptive IT and SIZO at the Ufulu Panafricain Library, merging Web3 technology with culture, environmental stewardship, and art. Since then, the hub has focused on designing innovative and context-aware solutions for local issues.
Contributors
Kwang Tech Hub is sustained by a growing developer community in Dschang. Below are some of the builders currently contributing to our projects and hackathons.
