Atila House x Afropolitan: Near Hackathon

Atila House 2023

Event 1 - Atila House Workshop

The hackathon was a hybrid in-person and virtual workshop launched during Atila House at ETHGlobal Waterloo Hackathon.

Atila House was a 5-day co-living, co-working and hacker house that was operating during the ETHGlobal Waterloo conference. During the day, people co-lived and co-worked on their jobs, side projects, hackathon projects and during the evenings we hosted workshops on the theme of AfroFuturism.
