Huge thanks to Sally Macfarlane from for highlighting the work of Hack4dev especially our Cascade Framework used in the Data Science Hackathon Programme (DSHP) during her talk at the conference!
Our Cascade Framework is centred on building relatable role models by training people on how to run hackathons. These trained individuals then return to their communities to host their own hackathons, sharing knowledge and creating more opportunities for others!
