Hackergal empowers educators to create equitable and engaging learning experiences for girls* and gender-diverse learners across Canada. We provide resources, teaching support, and learning opportunities so you can inspire girls* and gender-diverse learners to become leaders in technology.
Hackergal Coding Club
Hackergal provides comprehensive support to ensure your Coding Club’s success. When you sign up, a Hackergal team member will reach out to onboard you and guide you through our free courses on the Hub, enabling you to confidently deliver our programming and curriculum.
You can benefit from drop-in office hours led by the Hackathon team for ongoing support, with coding assistance available through our monitored Padlet all year.
In April 2025, Hackergal will support you in hosting a Hackathon at your school, providing all the necessary tools to ensure a memorable event. This initiative underscores our commitment to delivering personalized, engaging, and creative skill-building experiences for all Hackergal Coding Clubs across Canada.
Lesson Plans & Curriculum
Hackergal Hub is a free online learning portal which provides educational resources, curriculum, and skill-building project ideas. Hackergal Hub invites learners to engage with technology and build their digital competencies, while educators discover new, exciting ways to bring coding into their Hackergal Coding Club.
Bring coding education to life with Hackergal Hub!
Our curriculum uses an interdisciplinary, project-based approach that inspires girls* and gender diverse learners to learn by doing. We encourage building confidence through collaborating with others, making mistakes, solving bugs, and practicing a growth mindset. Step-by-step instructional videos guide students through each lesson, so no coding experience is needed to learn and teach. Plus, all lessons are mapped onto the existing provincial curriculum, so it’s easy to integrate into the classroom!
