Event Description

Hacktoberfest BENIN Hack Day -- LEAF

What if you could walk into a room with an idea and walk out with something you actually built?

LEAF is a one-day Hacktoberfest Hack Day bringing students, developers, creators, and curious builders together at in Benin City for a hands-on experience with open-source technology, open-source AI, open-weight models, GitHub, and modern developer tools.

This isn’t a conference where you sit and watch people build.
You learn. You collaborate. You build. You ship.

Throughout the day, participants will explore new technologies, form teams, tackle real-world challenges, and turn ideas into working prototypes. Projects will be documented, demonstrated, and, where possible, deployed and shared through open-source workflows.

Whether you're an experienced developer, an AI enthusiast, a student taking your first steps into tech, or simply curious about what you can build in a day — LEAF is your invitation to build something real.
