What is a hackathon?
Remember when Covid free, we used to go to over-crowded places, listening to our jam, and envy a high-tech setup someone had in front of us. Working hard was our thing, sleeping less kept us exciting, every hour was counted until the great pitch, where our keyboards were spilled sometimes with a hacker's coffee around, and the end was dedicated to our product we managed to build during that weekend? Yes, that is a hackathon!
Coder Gals
Three years ago we started the Coder Gals activities focused on Software Development. We found an enormous gap in educational events when it comes to gaining technical skills such as programming, and innovation, especially the competitive ones.
We have built a community that seeks to enhance participation in open-source projects, where everyone is welcome to learn, work, contribute, and have fun working on worldwide solutions.
Successful past/future stories of Coder Gals:
What's coming next?
The Coder Gals is excited to announce the Connect The Dots Hackathon in partnership with the U.S Embassy in Prishtina and the Kosovo United States Alumni (KUSA).
Connect The Dots Hackathon will be based on three themes, where most of the projects will be open-source.
- Open-Source
- Corporate
- StartUp
We know you are already asking, what are we going to work within these themes?
A hackathon is all about what kind of a hacker you are.
Are you excited to contribute to OpenStreetMap? Then your place is in the Open-Source theme.
Are you someone who will work on a feature we'll publish in your favorite programming language? Then your place is in the Corporate theme.
Are you someone who will hack an MVP for the whole weekend? Then your place is in the Startup theme.
Are there any limitations?
Some limitations will help us experience a very smooth event and we will be sharing them soon. #TBA
Can I apply?
If you are from Kosovo, Albania, North Macedonia, and Montenegro, and your professional career is focused on Software Engineering, please do have the patience to wait until our applications are open, so you can apply to participate in the Connect The Dots Hackathon. :)
