Come with an idea. Leave with a startup.
Cursor AI Hackathon Ethiopia is happening July 25โ26 at Adwa Museum.
Weโre partnering with Ministry of Innovation and Technology (MinT) and Ethio telecom to bring builders together for Ethiopiaโs largest AI hackathon.
We're looking for idea-stage AI startups. Not polished products, not finished projects. Just a real problem, real users, and a team ready to build fast. If you've been sitting on an idea, this is the weekend to start it.
You'll have 20 hours to turn it into a working MVP, with credits and AI tools from Cursor and our AI credit sponsors: Addis AI, ElevenLabs, Fal, Whisperflow, and more. Food, mentors, and support are covered the whole time.
We're taking 60 teams. Have a team? Register with your team code. Coming alone? Tell us your skills and we'll match you into a team of 5, or fill your team's open spots.
Incubation partners will be in the room too, including MinT, the Addis Ababa University Startup Center, Gheero, and others, ready to back promising teams with mentorship, workspace, and follow-up. Investors will be there looking for ideas worth funding.
Before you apply, read the overview on the Luma page carefully.

I ordered "pasta be enqulal" at a random food house in the village, and it has been half an hour. Now I heard in the background something like "zare degmo pasta แ enqulal endet endemisera enayalenโฆ". I admire the technology; hope it goes rightโฆ.๐

In most cases, not having money isn't the problem; our lifestyle is the problem. I am not generalizing, but let's be honest: what are the reasons you really wanted the money but couldn't get it from anyone else? I am sure 9 out of 10 reasons would be for some unnecessary stuff. So, the solution is to change your lifestyle.

I feel you ๐ญ... but remember your rizq is already written. The "I am glad" message will definitely find you.
For every single unfortunate application, do another five applications.
Look at the successful applications and curate your CV that way.
Don't forget my words: for every 1 unsuccessful application, apply to another 5.

Deen is not a separate thing from your dunya. All our livings, whether you are a sheikh or a professor, we worship Allah the same exact way. There is not even a flinch of difference. An ustaz could be contributing to the Ummah directly by lecturing, but that doesn't mean you are expected to be an ustaz to enjoin good and forbid evil (Amr bi al-Maruf waโl-Nahy an al-Munkar); it's an obligation upon all of us.
On another note, in Islam, monasticismโleaving the worldly life entirelyโis forbidden. Allah says in Surah Hadid:
"ููุฑูููุจูุงูููููุฉู ูฑุจูุชูุฏูุนููููุง ู ูุง ููุชูุจูููููฐููุง ุนูููููููู ู ุฅููููุง ูฑุจูุชูุบูุงุกู ุฑูุถูููุงูู ูฑูููููู"
"
As for monasticism, they made it up; We never ordained it for them."
Islam encourages spiritual devotion but without withdrawing from society. You can live an aesthetic life and still have a higher darajah around Allah.
So, learn Islam. Live it. And inshallah, you won't need to give up on your profession.

upwork has been bad this year, especially after the release of these powerful AIs. let alone for a person with no job, it's become hard even for people with good profile. with that said, I do have friends who managed to get a well paying job through upwork in this tough period. i.e there are still jobs but not as many as early days.
my suggestion, know what type of jobs you are applying to. don't apply to the high paying ones as they will usually choose people with good profile badges. apply to small gigs. ..
.
I better answer this question on separate post instead of an SMA answer.

Whether you believe it or not, you will be in your junior year, and I am telling you this is the time to try out multiple things. Life won't be the same after graduation. Don't stay at home; keep your phone away. Those are the two main things I believe will cause you to lose your motivation. Just go to a library near you early in the morning and stay there. Whether you do something or not, just go and stay there. Then the environment by itself will push you to be productive.
