No prior knowledge of coding is required. Known as a ‘Hackathon’ it is when large numbers of people work together in teams to create assigned web projects. In this case participants will learn about high level web design through building comic strips. The event was first organized in 2015 and involves female students from all over Ireland undertaking designated coding tasks. The aim is to inspire girls to consider the career opportunities that are available in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics or what is often referred to as STEM.
