You’d think Day 1 is all about settling in, but not at #SpaceAppsKumasi
Every corner buzzed with focus and purpose. Teams were locked in, sketching, building, debating
That’s the kind of energy you can’t manufacture, it just happens when people care about what they’re building 🚀

As Ghana gets ready for elections, election disinformation is a major problem. The political process and democracy can be seriously impacted by the deployment of false narratives, targeted campaigns, social media manipulation, and the encouragement of polarisation.
Defend your vote from false and misleading information.
Let's ensure that Ghana's election is peaceful, fair and transparent.
Be informed citizen.Choose wisely.
Your vote is your voice. Use it wisely to shape Ghana’s future.
