Ideathon 2017
The annual TechGirls Ideathon is an opportunity for girls with little or no STEM experience to explore programming. The Ideathon is open to students in grades 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 who identify as female. We will offer two events: the Design-A-Thon and Scratch-A-Thon. The competition will culminate in a day-long Ideathon event on May 20, 2017 where competitors will present their ideas. Registration will close on April 2, 2017.
