Technovation Waterloo Mini Hackathon – A FREE Tech Event & Program Hosted by UWaterloo’s Women in Computer Science

Technovation Girls is a free, 12-week program that equips girls and gender-diverse individuals* (including gender non-binary, and gender fluid) ages 8-18 with the skills to become tech entrepreneurs and leaders. With the support of volunteer mentors, students work in teams to code mobile apps or AI solutions that address real-world problems they’ve identified. WiCS hosts the Waterloo Chapter which supports junior (age 13-15) and senior (age 16-18) divisions**.

 *The Technovation Girls Global Challenge is restricted to girls and gender-diverse kids to create an environment where these populations that are underrepresented in tech have our full attention, enabling us to encourage more kids from these populations to be involved in tech in the future. That said, the Technovation curriculum and mobile app platform are available for free to everyone. Interested students who do not identify as female or gender-diverse can be pointed to those materials to learn more
