Day 3 at the AFRETEC Makerthon 2026: ideas turned tangible. Teams explored prototyping—from low to high fidelity—applied agile thinking, and built MVPs to test real solutions.

Day 2 at the AFRETEC Makerthon 2026: teams took a hands-on approach—presenting ideas, refining problem statements, and aligning solutions with real industry needs. A strong step forward in turning concepts into impactful innovations.

At the AFRETEC Makerthon 2026, Prof. Sunday Adebisi (University of Lagos) emphasized that innovation begins with defining the right problem. Through design thinking, students are learning to deeply understand user needs before building solutions that address industry challenges.
