Who are we?

We are CoderGals, an organization that represents a group of people coming from a developing country, with the enthusiasm of building exciting things using technology.

Our initial goal was to enhance the presence of girls/women in the IT field, empower them to be part of the tech industry, but due to the extensive requests for our events, we've started to include all the enthusiasts in one place, no matter the gender :)

We've started with the official events in 2017 with our first competitive event, take a look here.

Many interesting things have happened since then :)

Please take a look at these links to learn more about us:

Our Themes!

Connect the dots Hackathon will be based on three main themes described below.

Open Source

On Open Source we work and learn how to contribute, launch a new project, make a PR, browse data, and build a healthy community of contributors. Whether you are new to code or ready to contribute to a big project, there are a few ways to get involved, one of them is to become part of Connect the Dots hackathon. This time, contributing is a competition and a learning space, coding on an open source project it's going to be fun!

Corporate

"Do not deploy on Friday!" As Software Engineers, we keep looking for opportunities to learn and grow, because working in big teams can teach us many things we do not experience on our own projects. Now, we are learning step by step about the scalable projects, different user roles, and user stories. Coding on corporate challenge it's going to be fun too!

MVP

Code your idea out! We know that 48hours are more than enough for a software geek to publish out the prototype as a solution for an existing problem, or a new one, who knows! The best thing is that you can come up with your own project or select one from the event. Coding on MVP project it's going to be fun for real!

Can I apply?
If you're a Software Engineer with up to 2 years of experience in Web/Mobile development, than YES!

If you're a Software Engineer who's excited to be part of competitions and events where the diversity is the key, than YES!
