PixelHacks II - January 27-28, 2018
The Bay Area's First All Female Hackathon is Back
Sponsored by the National Center for Women and Information Technology
|
PixelHacks, the Bay Area’s first student-run, all-female high school hackathon, was founded on a mission to bridge the gender gap in the technology field and encourage all high school girls to be exposed to computer science. As a student-run hackathon, we aim to persuade everyone, including programming beginners, that anyone is able to code. At PixelHacks I in 2017, nearly 75 high school girls attended the 26-hour overnight hackathon, and with the help of sponsors, the event was entirely free for all students. Teens Transforming Technology is thrilled to partner with PixelHacks to host PixelHacks II so that together, we can reach an even larger audience of high school women.

AppUp - September 9th, 16th & 23rd, 2017
Hosted by Georgetown University and Sponsored by the National Center for Women and Information Technology
|
AppUp is an exciting and hands-on computer science program, funded by an AspireIT grant from the National Center from Women and Information Technology, to help expose young girls in Washington, D.C. to the computer science field, programming, coding a mobile application, and developing a network of like-minded girls who are excited and motivated to code. Girls will learn and develop the intuition and skills for the fundamental aspects of mobile application coding. Girls will learn and familiarize themselves with Java, Scratch, Android Studio, XCode, JSON, and SQLite, while inputting their creativity in these programs. The girls will build a demo application that is related to sustainability by the end of the program.
