Calling all Youth!

Innamal a'malu binniyat - “Actions are dependent upon their Intentions”

Ideas form from all places, why not we nurture ideas from the most pure and sacred place of our community? The mosque! 

Mosque Tech Challenge is a 24hr+ Hackathon Competition that aims to provide a platform to seek, implement and share the best and coolest ideas by our youth using technology towards the benefit of the community.

This is the 7th year we are running this event, with the intention of nurturing ideas from within the Mosque, developing skills and knowledge through learning workshops, and enabling the teams to prototype technological solutions towards the benefit of the community and beyond. 

This year our challenge topic will focus on Age-ing Population. Participants will compete in teams of up to 4 to create an app, website or hardware device as a solution to the topic. The teams will be judged based on relevancy, technical difficulty and innovation by invited industry professionals.
 

This 24-hour hackathon will be special as it will be held during Ramadhan in a Mosque and participants will be able to take part in the mass iftar and special night prayers for the muslims on top of working on your world changing ideas. Experience how it is like to spend the night at a Mosque during this blessed month.

We are looking for participants 16 years old and above in groups of max 4.

Do register early as spaces are limited. Non-Muslims are welcome to take part together with Muslim teammates. 

Prizes to be won, sponsored by Yayasan Mendaki & Masjid Kassim.
