📘 Workshops
🧭 Overview
Workshops are the core learning sessions for the Addis Ababa Hub. They are designed to help teams improve problem framing, documentation quality, and technical execution as they move from exploration to working prototypes.
Each workshop builds on the previous one, and all materials are tied directly to the session recordings for easy reference.
Workshop Schedule
All workshops run at a consistent time and location.
