The Hackathon:The theme of the hackathon is Women Empowerment. This could mean anything your team believes that would empower your female user in her daily life.Think of it as MVP (Minimum Viable Product) product development, presenting ideas, and a lot of coding. And then add the opportunity to meet and work with other people and develop your skills.
