Thank you again to everyone who took part and helped make Café Cursor a memorable and inspiring experience!

Yesterday, we hosted an incredible Café Cursor event a warm and inspiring gathering of developers, students, and tech enthusiasts from our community. The goal of Café Cursor has always been to create a space where people who love technology can meet, share ideas, and collaborate. Yesterday’s event truly reflected that spirit. We had fun, tech-inspired games that got everyone involved, exciting giveaways, and lots of meaningful conversations. The cozy café atmosphere made it easy for both beginner coders and experienced developers to connect and learn from one another. A highlight of the event was a special video message from Lee Robinson, who answered the questions from our community that had been sent before the event. His thoughtful responses made the day even more special. The passion and curiosity we saw reminded us how strong and fast-growing the Ethiopian tech community is. Thank you to everyone who joined, shared ideas, and made the day unforgettable!
