The Real Girl Code aims to provide opportunities for girls across the Greater Toronto Area to explore or deepen their understanding in computer science through the cultivation of a supportive community. The Real Girl Code team strongly believes that the first step for girls to feel truly confident is to break gender stereotypes by creating an environment where no girl has to fit into any gender role and can be or do anything she can possibly dream of. Please note that the entrance is the West entrance and the event is on the third floor. Visit our website at therealgirlcode.tech! Thank you to our sponsors: the Jonah Group and .tech domains!

Calling all digital health developers and wanna-be techno-geeks! It's time for the HHS-IBM Innovation Exchange Hackathon 2018 in support of Hamilton Health Innovation Week. And this ain't no pitch-a-thon either! We'll be looking to focus on hacking together a solution or technical capability over the weekend. We'll be doing this all on IBM Cloud, using the robust set of services available to developers including IBM Watson API's to quickly build truly cognitive applications! So come to share creative ideas, form teams, get advice from experts, and build a digital health app in one weekend. Present your finished product in a "Show & Tell" format to be reviewed by your peers! So get your geek on and join us for our digital health hackathon! OBJECTIVE The goal of our hackathon is to get back to our hackathon developer roots! According to Wikipedia: A hackathon is a design sprint-like event in which computer programmers and others involved in software development, including graphic designers, interface designers, project managers, and others, often including subject-matter-experts, collaborate intensively on software projects. The goal of a hackathon is to create usable software. Hackathons tend to have a specific focus, which can include the programming language used, the operating system, an application, an API, or the subject and the demographic group of the programmers. In other cases, there is no restriction on the type of software being created. Our weekend hackathon focuses on development of digital health and wellness applications (or use of data)! The additional goal for participants to come away from the event with new skills or try combining features/capabilities they had not previously attempted. We are looking to build a grassroots community of health app developers going forward!
