Project Deliverables
Each project has specific milestones and deliverables. You'll be expected to contribute to documentation, codebase, testing, and presentations as needed.
Local Problem Awareness
Our projects have an Ethiopian context. We expect participants to be aware of local needs and create solutions that are relevant to the Ethiopian context. Understanding the social impact of your work is essential to creating valuable solutions.
