Featuring realistic slingshot physics, hand/controller tracking, environment persistence, depth detection, a leaderboard, and multiple difficulty levels, it blends digital content with the real world. Sold in collaboration with Guzo Technologies to Ethio Telecom, it creates engaging, memorable, and immersive marketing experiences.

Some of the best opportunities begin with people offering a hand.

We're excited to announce the AI-Powered Founder Course, a collaboration between Harar Dev Center and tesfa.ai.

This program is for anyone curious about building with AI whether you're a student, developer, designer, entrepreneur, or simply someone with an idea you want to bring to life. No matter where you're starting from, you're welcome.

Our goal isn't just to teach AI. It's to grow a community of builders who learn together, create together, and shape solutions that matter.

If that sounds like something you'd like to be part of, we'd love to have you

Time and date will be specified soon….
