EVENT DETAILS |
<P>Black Girls CODE is teaming with Colgate to deliver a girls-only hackathon as we push young women to "Code a Brighter Future".</P>
<P>When you picture a promising future, what do you see? What changes do you envision in your community? How is your day-to-day life improved? What challenges do you anticipate we'll experience with our environment or wildlife? What would you build to make the future you foresee a reality? Use your imagination to create a mobile app that paves the way for a brighter future.</P>
