GirlCodeHack is an annual 30 hour hackathon held in August, in celebration of Women’s month in South Africa.This year's hackathon is a special one, as GirlCode is Celebrating 10 Years and this hackathon will span over 10 African cities.
The hackathon is designed to spark, renew and elevate an interest in coding amongst young women, in particular those that are in University/College. The hackathon was created to provide young women, eager to join the software industry with an opportunity to develop some of the real-world skills they need to enter the world of work. Through the hackathon, we aim to raise awareness of female technical talent and foster a competitive, yet cooperative, and congenial culture for talented female techie.
The overarching theme of the GirlCode Hackathon revolves around aligning technology, innovation, and female empowerment to drive positive change within the context of the UN SDGs.
