#AdaHack2021 Hackathon

To celebrate Ada Lovelace Day 2021, Teens In AI is running a global #AdaHack2021 Hackathon to inspire hundreds of girls and young people from underrepresented communities aged 12-18 across the world into artificial intelligence for impact.

For the second time, we are hosting the ##GirlsInAI Hackathon in Hong Kong: #AdaHack2021 #GirlsInAI2021HK

Teenagers from all over Hong Kong are invited to join this campaign that is on a mission to promote diversity in the tech industry. Join us to boost your understanding about AI, develop a diverse set of skills including project management, design & coding, and be guided by key industry mentors.

The hackathon will work around school hours! The hack will begin on Saturday 2nd October and follow the rough timings of a school day throughout the weekend. During the week(4th-9th) any hackathon related events will take place from 4:30pm earliest. This schedule will allow you to prioritise any homework or school related activities whilst still being fully immersed in all of the amazing opportunities available to you during the hack. We welcome mentors and participants of all genders to join our campaign to empower teenagers in Hong Kong.
