Can Kenyan Students Build a Scam Detector in 4 Hours?

Scammers are getting smarter every day. So we challenged student developers from four Kenyan universities to build a solution that could help stop scams in just 4 hours.

No extra time. No second chances.

Watch as the teams receive the challenge, brainstorm ideas, and race against the clock to create something that could help protect Kenyans from online fraud, phishing attacks, fake job scams, and mobile money scams.

Which team would you bet on?

Comment below with the university you’re supporting and whether you’d use any of the solutions.
