To celebrate Ada Lovelace Day 2020, Teens In AI is running a global #ALDHack2020 Hackathon to inspire hundreds of girls and young people from underrepresented communities (LGBTQIA) aged 12-18 across the world into Artificial Intelligence.

We are 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.

There is a small commitment fee of £15.00 which will go towards the cash prize.

This fee can be waived by emailing michaela@teensinai.com if participants are unable to pay due to financial restrictions.

The hackathon will work around school hours! The hack will begin on Saturday 10th October and follow the rough timings of a school day throughout the weekend. During the week (12th-17th) 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.

Join our Annual Hackathon inspiring young people across the globe into AI for Impact in celebration of Ada Lovelace Day 2020!
