In addition to hacking collaboratively with your team, participants are welcome to join:

• Panel discussions
• Skills workshops
• Career networking
• Office hours
• Presentations and Awards Ceremony on Nov. 19

We have two registration options:

• Attendee: Join to be placed with a hacking team; or choose to participate in the panel discussions and presentation events. 
• Mentor: Support our teams, workshops, and events. Mentors can build their own schedules and support teams when it works best for them. Mentors are required to attend a brief information session.

What do you need to participate?

No much! Just an interest to learn, create and engage with our community. Our basic requirement is access to a computer with the option to join a video conference. We will be hosting an information session a week before the event to answer questions and make sure you are comfortable with the event. We will also be hosting:

• An Install-athon to make sure you have access to the software you will need
• An Idea Generation & Team Formation event to ensure you have time to share your events and build teams
• A Git & Github for hackathons event to learn how to collaborate on code with version control

We are looking for Sponsors to help support the event and provide prizes to our teams. We are also looking for mentors to support our teams. Register for our mentor information session if you are interested.

Code of Conduct

The GDI mission is focused on providing opportunities for women & non-binary adults to learn web and software development, but our classes and events are open to all genders and identities. We are dedicated to providing a welcoming and comfortable environment for all to learn to code and every attendee is expected to uphold our Code of Conduct (http://www.girldevelopit.com/codeofconduct).
