It's quite an honour to be a part of this. It was very heartwarming to see the incredible ideas, effort, and teamwork being done. Congratulations, @SpaceAppsDar, for spearheading this 👏🏽
Our sincire appreciation to @ProjektInspire, @WTMDar, Elsaplanners, Brocken Technologies and @usembassytz for supporting this one of a kind hackathon. There is enough space for everyone in space!

Space science just like other areas of science requires proper representation of people from all backgrounds…this hackathon ensures that Tanzanians take part in this global endeavor while embracing DIEA & Open Science principles!
Thank you @faryus88 for your continued support.
@ProjektInspire @SpaceApps @dr_dedreamer @Lwidiko @usembassytz #STEM #Tanzania
We need more of such events & spaces so that our #youth can also be at the forefront of scientific breakthroughs in #Africa & beyond.
Feeling extremely inspired by the work of @elonmusk & @SpaceX!

While Elon Musk is catching rockets mid-air, this is how we build our space industry in Tanzania...we spark curiosity, inspire our people to pursue careers in space sector, engage and discover talents and creating platforms for youths to dream and grow.
Space exploration is a global endeavor. Through @SpaceAppsDar, I’ve met bright people who have passion for space science and space technologies but lacked a platform to showcase their talents.
This is all in an effort to promote space education which is what we greatly need now.
Seeing all the conversations around what @elonmusk & his team achieved yesterday through @SpaceX, I am even more proud of my involvement with the @SpaceApps challenge this year in #Tanzania. @dr_dedreamer, @ProjektInspire & their team inspiring our #youth to think big!
