In honor of International Women’s Day, Women Who Code San Diego presents a Hackathon designed to showcase women as we take on tech. Come participate in collaborative and creative coding challenges over a day-long coding sprint. The events open with a keynote and a short team forming session and then you’ll work in teams to build projects. We’ll have mentors around to answer coding questions and give project insights. The event culminates in a presentation before a panel of judges at the end of the day. Join our community of changemakers on March 10, 2018, to make something great.
