Q-Solve Kenya 2026 will host 30 participants, organized into 5 diverse teams of 6 members each. The hackathon will bring together a blend of university students and early-career professionals to encourage interdisciplinary innovation and mentoring across experience levels. The event is open to applicants from across Kenya, with targeted outreach to both public and private universities, research institutions, and innovation hubs. Participants may come from a variety of disciplines, including physics, mathematics, computer science, and engineering. Developers, educators, startup teams from innovation hubs as well as mentors from academia, industry, and government are also eligible.
To ensure diversity and inclusion, the organizing committee will:
• Promote gender balance within teams
• Engage participants from different counties and regions across the country
• Mix students and professionals to encourage learning and peer mentoring
• Consider applicants' technical background, creative problemsolving capacity, and interest in SDG impact Deliberate efforts will be made to include participants from underserved areas and underrepresented groups in quantum and computing fields, such as women, rural university students, and individuals with non-traditional academic paths.
How do you want to find quatum solutions for sustainable development in Africa? As a mentor, hacker, or a q-solve partner? You are in the right place.
