“If not to solve social challenges, what are we building technology for?”
Kesennuma didn’t just ask that question, it lived it. This town touched my heart. Already counting down to @Hackatsuon 2027.

@kitblake Ty so much for joining us, Kit! See you soon back in Kesennuma! 🫡✨

During a visit to Japan I participated in @Hackatsuon, a ‘civic goods’ hackathon in Kesennuma, on the northeast coast. Here’s a quote from the website: “If not to solve social challenges, what are we building technology for?”

Two sessions back to back: crypto meeting rural Japan's population decline, and how @ethereum block-building is being rebuilt.

Two unforgettable weeks in Kesennuma 🎣

Huge congrats to everyone at @Hackatsuon 2026! From building new ideas to sharing meals, experiences, and laughs with the locals, I’m grateful for the friendships and connections we made ☺️✨

Thank you to everyone who made it possible! 👏

[Allan Robinson 📍ShanhaiWoo 🇸🇬 @robinsoncodes]

Indeed it was a worthy Experience 🙌
Great work @africanbuilder_ 😎

[Pablo 🥷🏾 📍 devcon Mumbai @africanbuilder_]

気仙沼の皆さん、本当にありがとうございました🙏🏾

Two weeks in Kesennuma taught me more than I came to teach. Sitting with fishermen, shop owners and citizens, I learned that not every problem needs to be solved overnight. Some need to be understood first.
Grateful to Mayor Sugawara,@Hackatsuon , Women’s Eye, Hikari-san and everyone who opened their doors to us. I’ll be back. 🇯🇵🇬🇭
