Quick guide
How the 10-week campaign works
This is one continuous 10-week journey. Each week builds on your Week 1 goal, so your final showcase reflects steady progress instead of random tasks.
- Week 1 — introduce yourself and lock in one clear 10-week goal.
- Weeks 2–7 — share progress, resources, feedback, and collaboration.
- Week 8 — bring one qualified new Africoder.
- Weeks 9–10 — demo and showcase what you built or learned.
Each weekly challenge is worth 70 points. Open the week page, read What to do this week, complete the form, and save before the deadline.

One continuous 10-week journey
Seven stages across ten weeks: Choose → Plan → Learn/Build → Share → Improve → Demo → Showcase. Week 1 establishes your goal. The weekly challenges below are one path through this journey — not ten unrelated contests.
The 10 weeks
Each weekly challenge is 70 points. Together they are one path from choosing a goal to showcasing what you made.
Week 1
Introduce Yourself + Choose Your Goal
Introduce yourself, explain why you joined Africoders, and choose one specific goal for the full 10-week journey.
Week 2
Show Us What You're Building
Share a project and explain the problem, what you made, and what you learned.
Week 3
Builder Pitch
Pitch one African problem you would solve if you had ₦10M and a full developer team.
