Acalytica has opened registration for a free virtual vibe-coding hackathon taking place on 4 December 2025 at 15:00. The event is designed to demonstrate how software creation has shifted from a specialised skill to a general capability accessible to anyone who can think clearly about a problem.
The hackathon is hosted in partnership with Lovable, the company redefining global software creation at unprecedented scale. Lovable has grown into the fastest-accelerating startup worldwide, enabling millions of people to build functional apps in minutes without wrestling with infrastructure, configuration or traditional code.
The event gives African creators, students, founders and teams a short, high-leverage window to build a working web application using Lovable’s builder. The format centres on clarity over complexity: participants start with a live quick-start demo, choose one real-world problem, and build a lightweight app that solves it. The sprint model removes ceremony and emphasises direct problem resolution.
The initiative aligns with Acalytica’s goal of expanding digital capability across the continent by lowering the barriers to building usable software. Participants join remotely from anywhere, and no technical background is required.
