Hacktoberfest is the world's biggest open source celebration, and this year it's happening right here at MUBS. This is your chance to contribute to real projects used by people around the world, and get your name on them.
🗓 Friday, 2nd October 2026
⏰ 7:00 AM onwards
📍 ADB Building, MUBS Nakawa Campus
What's happening:
✅ Learn open source from scratch (yes, even if you've never used GitHub)
✅ Make your first pull request with mentors right beside you
✅ A mini hackathon — build something in a few hours with a team
✅ Swag, snacks, certificates and serious networking
Never coded before? Come anyway. We start from zero. If you can open a laptop, you can contribute.
💻 IMPORTANT: Carry your laptop and charger. This is a hands-on day, you'll be building, not just listening.
