Take Your Daughter to Hack Day

LET's Build awesome THINGS

bring your daughter and hack on fun projects

Take Your Daughter to Hack Day is a day-long hack event for daughters of all ages and their parents or guardians to come together to build software and hardware projects of all kinds.

The hackathon is open to all ages and genders, but with a special focus on girls. No prior coding experience necessary!

We will be hosting two workshops throughout the day, one to learn how to use the Arduino GEMMA to make an awesome wearables project, and another to customize your own Tumblr theme!

All levels welcome.

All related content hosted by Medium.

Prizes will include Oculus Rifts, LittleBits, and other wearables!

Scholarships available, please reach out to hi@jewelbots.com.
