Code First: Girls - Durham University

19/10/2018

Hi everyone!
DurHack, Durham's annual 24-hour inter-university hackathon will take place on the 17th-18th of November 2018. As a past participant and a past organizer, I can vouch for the fact that it is a great learning experience with an opportunity to network with brilliant students and employers from across Europe (and of course, to win some great prizes).
Each year, DurHack aims to involve more women to participate and this year, the event being even bigger and better, they would love to have even more female participation! The places are filling in fast and with not even a month to go, do sign up if you are interested. You do not need to be a cyber genius or have any prior experience in coding. Visit their website to sign up and learn more about the event.
Also, feel free to invite your friends from other universities!
