Hey Bangpypers, Currently, only 20% of hackathon participants are women. It's a low number, unfortunately equal to the percentage of women pursuing degrees in Computer Science and reflective of the representation of women-in-tech in general as well.

We’re delighted to announce India’s biggest all-women hackathon - wmn; <https://wmn.community> happening in Bangalore on 1-2 June. With wmn; we're looking to shape the way women get involved with tech. You can have fun, be creative, build, break, learn, and ask questions in a space that celebrates diversity. We're also going to have a great lineup of speakers for the conference which is free for all to attend irrespective of gender. Tickets are live here <https://devfolio.co/wmn/ticket>, get them before they disappear! In case of any queries feel free to reach out to me on den...@devfolio.co or Tanu <https://twitter.com/jaintanu1108> - tanu@wmn.community Regards, Denver Organiser wmn; <https://wmn.community/> - twitter <https://twitter.com/wmn_community>, medium <https://medium.com/wmn/introducing-wmn-b2932122c6fa> _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
