Western University
SheHacks was the first hackathon that I attended when I was in first year computer science at Western University. Being in such an inclusive and educational environment around so many incredible women left me with a sense of confidence in my technical abilities that I never felt before.
McMaster University
With just surface-level knowledge of Python and Java, I returned to the London GreyHound bus station on Sunday night with a beautiful website coded through HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and integrated with a Google API. All of this I learned (and relearned) within 24 hours thanks to the friends and mentors I gained at SheHacks.
University of Waterloo
At most hackathons, I've always felt a sense of imposter syndrome and intimidation. SheHacks was a supportive and welcoming event that made everyone, regardless of skill level or gender, feel like they had a place in the tech world.

As a Medical Sciences student making a career shift to tech, the SheHacks environment gave me access to skills and empowering mentors that helped me get my start at an early stage startup.

SheHacks was a great opportunity to participate in my first Hackathon. Since I had no experience coding, I was too intimidated to join a Hackathon...After SheHacks, I felt more confident in my abilities in tech and since have been taking courses and workshops to improve my coding skills!
Western University
SheHacks was the first hackathon I had ever attended and it was nothing like I had expected. It was incredibly beginner friendly, I got to see so many cool hacks and innovative ideas, I had the chance to network with tech company reps and attended lots of unique workshops.
University of Waterloo
SheHacks was my first hackathon experience and it did not disappoint! It was such a supportive environment, and everyone was rooting for each other’s success. It was a fantastic opportunity to meet like minded individuals and learn from leaders in the tech community. I came out of the experience with new skills and more confidence in my abilities.
