A sincere thank you to @SAAO for hosting our participants at the Visitor’s Centre. Participants had the opportunity to explore interactive exhibits, and multilingual storytelling that showcases both scientific knowledge and indigenous celestial narratives! #DSHP2026

The challenge continues on Day 3 of the #DSHP2026 as participants work collaboratively to tackle the building age classification task. It has been exciting to see teams exchange ideas, test solutions, and learn from one another as they progress through the challenge!

A few highlights of our partners’ engagement with participants during day 1 of the #DSHP2026, where they shared insights about their organisations, their work in advancing data science and innovation, and their collaboration with Hack4dev!

The Hack4dev Data Science Hackathon Programme (DSHP) Cycle 2 has officially begun! This week, we're bringing together 22 hackathon teams from 13 countries across Africa and Asia to strengthen data science! #DSHP2026 #datascience
