This year the Hacktoberfest ML/AI Open-Source Challenge focuses on one flagship project — Naija Nutri Hub.
Naija Nutri Hub is an end-to-end, AI-powered food platform focused on Nigerian cuisine.
Its goal is to create a production-ready tool that combines:
- 🍽️ Computer vision for food recognition
- 🧮 Nutrition knowledge & calorie analysis
- 📜 Recipe generation
- 📍 Local restaurant discovery
Participants can contribute across:
- 🤖 ML/AI Engineering
- 💻 Backend (FastAPI) & Frontend
- 🎨 UI/UX Design

- 📄 Non-technical roles (Documentation, Testing, Community, etc.)
Naija Nutri Hub allows a user to take or upload a photo of a meal and receive:
- Food Classification — Identify dishes (single or multiple) in an image
- Nutritional & Calorie Estimates — Fetch accurate nutrition data from external APIs
- Recipe Suggestions — Generate step-by-step recipes with ingredient and portion guidance
