Mosque Tech Challenge 2019

Fees: Free

Innamal a'malu binniyat - “Actions are dependent upon their Intentions”

Ideas form from all places, why not we nurture ideas from the most pure and sacred place of our community, that is the Mosque.

Mosque Tech Challenge is a 24hr+ Hackathon Competition that aims to provide a platform to seek, implement and share the best and coolest ideas using technology towards the benefit of the community.

This is the 7th year we are running this event, with the intention of nurturing ideas from within the Mosque, developing skills and knowledge through learning workshops, and enabling the teams to prototype technological solutions towards the benefit of the community and beyond.

This year our challenge topic will focus on Age-ing Population. Participants will compete in teams of up to 4 to create an app, website or hardware device as a solution to the topic. The teams will be judged based on relevancy, technical difficulty and innovation by invited industry professionals.
