# Build challenges & hackathons

The Investec Developer community hosts build challenges and hackathons throughout the year, centered around the Investec banking API and programmable card.&#x20;

If you are new to the community, this is a great way to learn more about how to apply API banking to innovative solutions and to meet others in the community.&#x20;

To chat with other community members about the things you have been building - whether to show off your build or get advice - join the [#02\_buildspace channel ](https://investec-dev-com.slack.com/archives/C05MFMYUPE2)on the Investec Developer Slack.&#x20;
