About the challenge

Little Apple Hacks is a two-day, gender-focused, online, global hackathon held by Little Apple Academy for female-identifying people. As a beginner-friendly hackathon, we hope to inspire and equip our participants with coding skills to bridge the gender gap in technology.

Over two days, teams of up to 4 participants will work to develop a software project that helps to solve a real-world problem.

Eligibility

Participants must identify as female, transgender, genderqueer, or non-binary.
