🚀 We are back - Bigger, Bolder and Ready to Build Technology that ensures every VOICE is heard! Following the success of the inaugural Tɛkyerɛma Pa Hackathon in 2025, the DCS HCI Lab, University of Ghana, is proud to announce the second edition: MTN Ghana Tɛkyerɛma Pa Hackathon 2026! Last year, brilliant teams developed AI-powered speech technologies to support individuals with speech impairments. This year, we are raising the bar. The 2026 edition challenges students, developers, designers and technology enthusiasts to create inclusive digital solutions that support communication in Ghanaian languages. But inclusion must not be an afterthought. Every proposed solution must be designed to be accessible to persons with disabilities. This is your opportunity to move from an idea to an impactful solution. 🔗 Register your team: https://lnkd.in/dsqYaC75 🌐 Discover what we achieved last year and learn more about the 2026 edition: https://lnkd.in/e8d88NGC 📧 Enquiries: dcshcilab@ug.edu.gh The first edition sparked the movement. The second edition will expand its impact. Let us build a digital future in which Ghanaian languages are represented, technology is accessible, and no voice is left unheard.

UX Meets Product 🪑💬 How do designers, PMs & developers actually work together? That's exactly what we're unpacking at the next edition of Chop, Chat & Connect! Great conversations get even better when more perspectives enter the room. For Chop, Chat & Connect — Edition 9, we’re bringing in Joy, Kevin and Samuel as our Contributors — joining the conversation to share their perspectives, challenge ideas and help us dig a little deeper into the topic. Not speakers giving lectures. Not a panel with rehearsed answers. Just people bringing their experiences and perspectives into the room to help further the conversation — alongside everyone else. Because that’s what CCC is really about: we chop, we chat, we challenge each other, and hopefully leave knowing a little more than we came with. Meet Joy. Kevin. Samuel. Your Contributors for CCC Edition 9. 🎙️ See you there. 🚀 Come through if you've ever wondered why "just a quick design change" turns into a three-team conversation, or why product roadmaps and design timelines never seem to agree. Let's chop, chat and connect.
