Focus: To develop a project that contributes to equal opportunities and rights for women and girls.
Structure: Teams will work to plan, design, and build an application or analyze complex data sets and develop a visualization. Teams are encouraged to be creative in how they take up this challenge. Each team will make a short presentation about their product on Saturday, October 21.
