12/03/2022: Stemettes International Women's Day Hack @ MI5, MI6 and GCHQ

This March, MI5, MI6, GCHQ and Stemettes invite you to a STEMtastic virtual hackathon in celebration of International Women’s Day (IWD)! 

Stemettes IWD Hack @ MI5, MI6 and GCHQ is an online one-day event that will tap into your creativity and equip you with the skills to imagine a better future.

We’ll be focusing on intelligence, security and cyber and how we hone in on skills across STEM to create a smarter and safer world.

You’ll work in teams with your peers to identify an issue in relation to intelligence, security and cyber and design a product or business solution for it.

Throughout the day, you’ll be able to interact with STEM role models from MI5,MI6 and GCHQ and learn about their knowledge and expertise. The role models will be there to inspire your approach to the ideas you will develop during the hack.

We will kick off the morning together then work in smaller groups on some STEMtastic business and product ideas. We will take a break for lunch and finish the day off with a special Stemettes showcase, during which you will present your ideas to a panel of judges. We will be giving away some exciting prizes to the winning groups and goodie bags to all participants!

Grab your free ticket and start getting your snacks and creativity ready for a day full of STEMtastic energy!

This event is aimed at young women and non-binary people aged 12-21.
