BBC Connected Studio is holding a hackathon in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi next month as it looks to develop a chat app to extend the reach of the BBC World Service to young audiences in Africa.

The Nairobi hackathon  – which will be based around social platforms, specifically the use of chat apps, to reach young audiences – takes place on February 3-4, with a short evening briefing on January 29.

Winning innovative ideas will be eligible for a funded pilot of up to GBP25,000 (US$38,000).
