Stemettes teamed up with G-Research on the 25th of October to run a hackathon with 50 girls. Half the group made a website and embedded a chatbot which they also built themselves. The other group used Scratch to build their chatbots.
Our attendees stated their favourite part of the event was ‘creating an entire project from scratch’.
