About Girl Develop It (GDI)
Girl Develop It’s mission is to create welcoming, supportive opportunities for women and non-binary adults to learn software development skills. We believe in a world where all people are included and empowered in developing the future of technology. Through classes, projects, and events, GDI students develop code, confidence, and community.
The Hackathon brings this mission to life by offering participants the chance to experiment, collaborate, and build in a failure-friendly, inclusive environment.
