FEMTech Bootcamp is a 1-day (~12 hour) guided hackathon for underrepresented students and beginner hackers looking to get started with building their own projects.
Building side projects can be a daunting space, especially for those without much experience with software development or coding.
As a participant you will be able to attend beginner friendly workshops on project management, design, and mobile and web development which will take you through the steps of building your own tech project.
You don't need experience to attend this hackathon! All workshops will be beginner friendly and we will have amazing mentors to support you throughout your building process. Come learn something new! ;)
