Wikimedia Hackathon Women Tech Storm

The Women Tech Storm is a small female-only hackathon. It is also open for non-binary people. It will be held in the Netherlands from 10 to 12 May 2018.

It will be an event weekend filled with hacking together with other interested developers. The Hackathon has two targeted groups. One group exists of female developers with some experience programming outside Wikimedia and who would like to learn Wikimedia coding. The other group consists of women who are already acquainted with Wikimedia projects and are interested in learning the coding side of the projects. You can learn how to make a query with SPARQL or learn to master Python.

The Women Tech Storm - part I will be followed by the Wiki Techstorm. This event will be in October/November and is open for all genders.
