Celo Code Jam Kenya Ecosystem
What is Code Jam?
Code Jam is a programming competition in which contestants attempt to solve a set of computer programming problems in the shortest amount of time.
A Code Jam provides developers with an opportunity to practice their skills while winning rewards in the process.
Often the challenges are loosely based off real-world scenarios allowing developers to get a feel of how building on a client platform (Celo and other partners within the ecosystem) and in the real world, looks like. Think of them as online hackathons.
Celo Code Jam
The Celo Code Jam is specially intended to assist web2 developers and blockchain enthusiasts looking to transition to web3. With a series of developer-focused activities and talks to help developers acquire new skills needed in the ecosystem to complete tasks that are project-focused and adhere to the agile methodology,
