dressCode

dressCode Hackathons are designed to help girls understand the possibilities of coding as a career path. The philosophy of dressCode is showing girls how to do, not what to do, and empowering them to design the game or website that they want. The Hackathon will give local S1/2 girls the opportunity to participate in a tech inspired competition hosted in Midlothian. The event will also host local tech companies to provide examples of careers in digital tech. Pupils will be presented with a web design challenge to create an online fictitious awards ceremony invite and will conclude by presenting their ideas to the other participants and judges where an overall winner is chosen. Winners from each school will also have their invitation sent to the Head Teacher of their school to inform them of their achievement and for potential use for a real school event. The challenge will be designed to be accessible to all skill levels and schools who attend the Hackathon will be given access to dressCode’s resources for future use.
