Macondo is going to be more than just your typical hackathon. You’ll ride cable cars over Bogotá, learn to dance salsa, walk through streets covered in murals, try Colombian food, and explore the city with 100 teenagers from all over the world.
Then you’ll come back, sit down beside the people you just explored with, and build together. By the end of the weekend, you’ll leave Bogotá with something you made and stories you’ll be telling for years.
Unfamiliar places, new experiences, and unexpected moments can completely change the direction of your life. You just have to be there for them to happen.
