In the end, 5 teams were selected with the best ideas and they will share in the prize funding.

Besides being an opportunity for developers to generate original ideas to positively impact society using the Tezos blockchain, the event also saw students and developers get introduced to the Tezos blockchain, and now they can contribute to it.

Community members of Tezos in Uganda added that the event has begun its mission to introduce the core fundamentals of the Tezos Blockchain.
