About this Event

, and have partnered for a hackathon centred on this year's International Women's Day theme: Give to Gain - in support of the charity .

You’re invited to join us for a day of ideation, coding and the creation of solutions that will make a make a real impact in women’s lives.

Give to Gain is about the power of generosity, collaboration, and reciprocity. When we share knowledge, time, and access, everyone benefits. This Power Hack challenges you to turn that mindset into technology that genuinely lifts others.

Aim of the day

Coinciding with International Women’s Day (IWD) celebrations throughout March, SheCanCode is bringing you a free hackathon in London, providing you with the opportunity to build a tech solution for good that enables people, communities, or organisations to support one another.

While SheCanCode is committed to keeping our events as accessible as possible, we kindly ask for a small £10 donation to secure your space.

All donations will be given to . Young Women's Trust are creating a more equal world of work and raise young women’s incomes. They tackle sexism and misogyny, with and for anyone who has experienced this. Young Women's Trust offer young women free coaching, feedback on job applications and information to help them get where they want to be. They bring together a network of thousands of young women to support each other, build their self-belief, and have their voices heard. They work with young women and anyone who experiences misogyny and sexism to campaign for equality in the workplace; and their research provides insight into what young women’s lives are really like, fuelling campaigns for change.

At the end of the day, attendees will present to a judging panel who will select a winning project.

Please bring your laptop, chargers and any other equipment you like working with on the day.
