Participate in the Hackergal Hackathon

The Hackergal Hackathon is Canada’s largest Hackathon for girls and gender-diverse learners! Join thousands of coders across the country for this dynamic annual event.

The Hackathon is a one-of-a-kind experience where girls* and gender-diverse learners (Grades 6 to 9) gather, learn from each other, and code with purpose.

Our next Hackathon is scheduled for April 2025. More information is available here.

Girls* and gender-diverse learners participated in previous Hackergal Hackathons!

Become an Ambassador!

Hackergal’s Ambassador Program equips girls* and gender-diverse learners in Grades 9 – 12 with leadership skills, tools, mentorship opportunities and the confidence to change the Canadian tech landscape.

As an Ambassador, you’ll meet tons of like-minded changemakers, take part in exclusive workshops, and become a leader in your school community. This is the ultimate way to join the Hackergal movement!

“The Hackergal Ambassador Program serves as a peak into the STEM field. It introduces ambassadors to many currently working in tech by providing numerous Q&A’s – something extremely helpful to girls even considering working in STEM. It also creates a safe community where everyone is learning together 24/7. Without the Hackergal Ambassador Program, I definitely can say I would feel a lot less confident pursuing STEM next year at university, and I feel so fortunate to have been given this amazing opportunity. – Aleksandra, Hackergal Ambassador.”

“I think these programs are needed because not only do they teach girls what STEM is and break down the stigma around it, they provide girls with role models to look up to and be inspired by. I, for one, decided to go into STEM because I attended a STEM outreach program at UBC when I was younger and decided that the people who built model rockets were so cool that I wanted to be just like them when I was older. I think Hackergal provides girls with the exact same opportunities to explore something new and understand what being a woman in STEM is really like.”

“As an Ambassador, I started a small coding club at my school, so I am especially proud of my own community. The learners have demonstrated a passion for coding and were always eager to learn more. They have decided to continue to learn even after the Hackathon and I am so proud of that. Not only their coding, but how they’ve come together as friends.”
