Introducing cmd-f, Vancouver's first all-female* hackathon, happening March 9-10th at the University of British Columbia. Join us to *shift* the idea of what a hacker looks like and counter common misconceptions about women* in tech.
We understand that the term "female" is not an accurate description for many people, hence why we denote it with an "*". cmd-f welcomes participants who identify as female, as well as non-binary, agender, intersex people.
