The Eastern Ethiopia Inter-University Cursor Hackathon, held on March 27–28 at Haramaya University, brought together students from across multiple universities for a two-day building experience.
Participants arrived from partner institutions including Dire Dawa University, Oda Bultum University, and Jigjiga University, forming teams and collaborating on ideas aimed at solving real-world problems.
The hackathon began in the evening, where teams were formed and ideas were developed through discussions and brainstorming sessions.
The second day was fully dedicated to building and refining these ideas into working solutions, followed by final presentations from selected teams.
In just 48 hours, participants demonstrated strong collaboration, creativity, and the ability to turn concepts into practical projects.
📊 Event Highlights:
👥 23 teams
💡 23 projects
🎤 10 final pitches
🏆 3 winning teams
Proud to co-organize a hackathon where students built, learned, and collaborated looking forward to more.

You know what makes Cursor Hackathon different? We don't let you build your own team - we have a good sense of pairing people from different background, and it somehow turns into perfect match.
