I joined my first Hackathon to improve my coding and connect with others. I'm especially excited that this is my first Hackathon for a couple of reasons. One, they run this specifically to help new programmers learn and get a portfolio project. Two, as this is being run by Girl Develop It, the participants are largely (if not entirely) femme and non-binary persons.

I'm excited, and can't wait for the kickoff event on Nov 10th!
