Algorand Foundation, in partnership with Africa Blockchain Alliance, announce a call for applications for the Decentralized Umoja Algorand Bounty Hack II.
In line with the Africa Blockchain Alliance’s commitment to foster blockchain education on the African continent, the Alliance partnered with Algorand Foundation and Reach to organize this agile and fast-paced program for African web developers to get into blockchain development.
The program will be in the form of an online Bounty Hack Series which is a guided hackathon in which participants (teams and individuals) learn to build blockchain apps (dApps) and then complete projects from a pre-approved list over the course of six weeks.

Each team will be assigned a mentor who will work closely with the team to help them succeed to their fullest potential.
The dApps developed are presented at the end of the hack and voted on by participants. Prizes will be awarded to the top three teams. However, the hack doesn’t end there.
