Kisumu | Claude for Developers
Western Kenya, this one's for you.
Claude Community Kenya is rolling into Kisumu with our 8th event - and this time we're not doing slides. We're shipping code.
Claude for Developers is a one-day mini-hackathon. You'll get hands-on with Claude Code, ship a working prototype in a few hours, and walk away with the patterns we use daily on production systems.
What's happening:
▸ Quick intro to Claude & Claude Code - what it is, how senior devs use it
▸ Live demo on a real production system
▸ Problem statement drop - we hand you a real-world build challenge
▸ Mini-hackathon sprint - solo or in teams of 2–4
▸ Demo session - every team shows what they shipped ▸ Prizes for top builds (Anthropic credits + CCK swag) ▸ Networking with builders from across Western Kenya
Who should come:
This event is for developers. If you write code - whether you're a student, junior, senior, indie hacker, or freelancer this is your room.
Come ready to build. Bring your laptop. Install Claude Code beforehand if you can (we'll help you set it up on the day if not): curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash
Why this event:
Kenya has one of the strongest developer ecosystems in Africa, but Nairobi gets all the events. Kisumu and the west are where the next wave of African AI builders are coming from - and we're here to back that.
This is also CCK's first event outside Nairobi and Mombasa. We've run 7 events since January 2026 - Nairobi, Mombasa, online, hybrid - and we've seen what works when devs get real tools and a few hours of focused build time.
