EVENTS
We believe that the future is created by having a young crowd working together for a better community. Our launching event is a Hack-A-Day (earlier scheduled for the 4th of April, but it's been postponed until further notice due to pandemic situation). During the event, you will work alongside entrepreneurs, designers, and professionals to work on compelling projects aiming to contribute to society in a meaningful and sustainable way. Sign-up for Hack-A-Day.. !!!
