Too Long; Didn't Read
On November 30 and December 1, 2018, the Google Developer Student Club Ashesi hosted the Hack-APIs <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/hackathon" target="_blank">hackathon</a> at Ashesi University, Ghana. That event, which was sponsored by <a href="https://cloudinary.com/" target="_blank">Cloudinary</a>, comprised 15 teams, whose members were undergraduates from Ashesi and other universities in Ghana. The goal was to create an environment in which the competing teams, regardless of skill, could huddle for 24 hours, during which they would brainstorm for ideas and build apps with real-world APIs. The prizes were GH₵ 1,000, GH₵ 600, and GH₵ 400 in cash for the first-, second-, and third-place winners, respectively.
