Hackathon: L'Aurore de recherche en informatique au cameroun

The primary objective of this hackathon is to expose students to current technological challenges in computer science, particularly in areas such as artificial intelligence and cloud resource management. To make these themes more tangible, problem statements were drawn from the local context—for instance, using AI for malaria detection. In parallel, more fundamental topics, such as integrating AI into operating systems, were included to broaden participants’ perspectives.

This hackathon aims to develop several key competencies among students: the ability to quickly solve complex problems, effective collaboration within teams of unfamiliar peers, and the skills to showcase and present their work convincingly. Beyond these immediate outcomes, the event also serves to strengthen cooperation between the participating Cameroonian and French universities.
