What Happened That Weekend
01
50+ Devs
Beginners to senior engineers coded side-by-side. No gatekeeping.
02
Multi-State
Participants traveled in from Kentucky and Virginia to be there.
03
24 Hours
One sprint, one ummah-first mission, one incredible closing ceremony.
Participants were given 24 hours to build innovative projects aimed at benefiting the Muslim community. The skill level varied from beginners to experienced coders — and it was inspiring to see how much they learned and shipped in a single weekend. The turnout and engagement from the community were truly encouraging.
