About Us
A Festival Born to Ignite Potential
Tech Ignite is the annual flagship event of Google Developer Student Clubs, University of Uyo (GDSC UNIUYO). Every year it brings students, developers, designers, and dreamers together for hackathons, keynotes, and hands-on learning on campus.
More than a conference, Tech Ignite is a launchpad — a place where ideas find teammates, skills find direction, and the community finds its people.
What We Do
One Day. Four Ways to Grow
Hackathons
Real problems, real deadlines, real prizes. Team up, build fast, and ship a working solution — then defend it live on the main stage.
Keynotes & Sessions
Learn from engineers, founders, and creative directors shaping products at companies like Kuda, Chowdeck, and MotionFlow.
Workshops & Demos
Get hands-on with the tools of the trade — from AI tooling to product design — guided by people who use them every day.
Community
Meet the people who will push you further: students, mentors, and organizers building the next generation of Nigerian tech.
