Program Description
The Hackergal Hackathon Program is a national movement of girls in grades 6-9 collectively changing the face of computer science and striving to close the gender gap in technology.
By learning to code through self-paced lessons and interactive projects, Hackergals across Canada are empowered to pave the way for a technology industry that is diverse and inclusive of underrepresented groups.
