Dear All Girls in Faculty of Technology,

BoardPAC Global Innovation Center are pleased to share (below) an impactful initiative of an 'all girls hackathon' - coding competition that is organized by the women technopreneur forum of Slasscom. A key target audience is Under-graduate Students and Graduates. It's a great opportunity for girls to try out a first step at a coding competition and get hands-on experience.

The winners will not only gain recognition, it's also a start to a path of mentorship and boot-camps and assistance on a tech journey !

The event is set up for teams of girls (3-5 members per team) to enter the competition so it would be great to have a team from University of Colombo.. or even multiple teams from University of Colombo... that would be fantastic if possible to have such !

Christine of Slasscom can provide further assistance  :+94711806518  
Please take any additional assistance and form a teams  before the 31st December deadline. 

Application closing date 31st December 2021.
