One of the most powerful moments at Café Cursor Adama was the project showcase session. Developers presented real projects, shared ideas openly, and demonstrated the innovation happening within our ecosystem. What stood out most was the spirit of collaboration learning from each other, challenging one another through games, and supporting continued growth beyond the event. A big thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to making this gathering inspiring and memorable. We can’t wait to see you at the next one!

Yesterday, the Ethiopian Cursor Community hosted Café Cursor in Adama, and the energy in the room was incredible. The event combined interactive games, networking sessions, and project showcases, creating a space where developers could connect, compete, and grow together. During the event, all participants received Cursor credits to continue building, while winners of the games earned additional prizes. Beyond the prizes and activities, the most powerful outcome was the connections formed, ideas shared, and the confidence sparked among builders in the room. Special thanks to Neos Software for collaborating with us in Adama and helping make this gathering a success. We’re excited to keep this momentum going and continue creating spaces where developers can learn and build.
