Hackergal

Hackergal Hackergal is committed to diversity and inclusion. This includes trans girls because we recognize trans girls are girls.

Hackergal is a Canadian charity with a mission to change the face of computer science and pave the way for a technology industry that is diverse and inclusive of underrepresented groups across Canada. We work directly with education systems and organizations across the country, providing educators, facilitators, and parents with the tools they need to expose girls to coding education in their schools, communities, and at home. Woven into everything we do is a commitment to reach more girls in more places, with a focus on BIPOC communities, French-speaking Canada, and northern, remote and rural Canada. We use an inclusive definition of “girls” and “women” and welcome the participation of all learners who identify as girls. We also welcome the participation of gender-fluid, non-binary, and two-spirit learners.

Happy Birthday Hackergal!

Today it’s our birthday and we’re celebrating by highlighting the girls* and gender-diverse youth who are discovering their voices, building their confidence, and seeing themselves as the innovators and leaders of tomorrow through our programs.

But we couldn’t do all of this without the incredible community behind us.

Over the past year, our partners and community have helped make so much of our work possible, from growing our Ambassador Program to expanding our free courses on the Hackergal Hub to bringing STEAM learning to more learners across Canada.

Building on our past work, we’re excited to introduce the Hackergal Innovation Lab. It’s a nine-week experience, taking place from January to March, that empowers girls* and gender-diverse learners to turn their ideas into action by identifying problems in their communities, developing prototypes and sharing it at their very own Demo Day!

Of course none of this happens alone.

To every corporate partner, donor, educator, volunteer, mentor, community organization, and supporter who believed in Hackergal this past year: THANK YOU.

A special thank you to our incredible Hackergal team: your passion, creativity, and dedication bring our mission to life every day. We couldn’t do this without you: THANK YOU.

Your support is helping create pathways for girls* and gender-diverse youth to become builders, creators, innovators, and leaders of tomorrow in STEAM.

Two days full of learning, connecting, and discovering new technology at the 17th Canadian EdTech AI Summit! đź’ś

The Hackergal team had a great time chatting about the future of AI in education and connecting with educators, organizers and more.

A big takeaway from one of our sessions? Human connection and interaction will be incredibly important now and in the future!

As AI becomes a bigger part of education and our lives, how do we make sure we don’t lose our meaningful human connections?

At Hackergal, we’re proud of the community we’ve built that includes opportunities for girls* and gender-diverse learners to connect with their peers, learners and tech leaders. We’ve helped build a strong community through our partnerships and free programs, like the Hackergal Innovation Lab program and Ambassador Program (click the link in our bio to learn more about both!).

This week we also got a front row seat to interactive technology, like a remote-controlled drone simulator, and encountered the sweetest surprise at the conference! We had attendees not only recognize the Hackergal brand, but remember connecting with us from as far back as 2018!

Thank you to our team: Tara, Helen and Kumiko for sharing their journey at this year’s conference.

We’re leaving this conference feeling inspired by our conversations and the community!

A little look back at our time in the Yukon.

From meeting with learners and connecting with educators to taking the stage at the YEAP Biennial Conference, it was an incredible opportunity to connect with the people making a difference in education and STEAM learning.

We’re grateful for the conversations, the shared ideas, and the chance to learn from communities doing inspiring work. Here’s a look at some of the moments that made our visit special! 💜

2,700+ students. One big question. So many inspiring answers. 💜✨

This year we joined Rally as a Community Partner and we asked students: What advice would you give to the next generation?

From “You are worthy as you are” to “If you have an idea, you can start building it tonight,” the messages we heard reminded us why empowering the next generation matters.

A huge thank you to the Rally team, the speakers, students, educators, fellow exhibitors, our Hackergal team, and our amazing Hackergal Ambassadors for making this event so special!

As Wali Shah said: YOU are the generation that will RALLY! 🚀

The future won’t wait and neither should we!

The next generation has big ideas ... and girls* and gender-diverse learners deserve the tools, confidence and opportunity to bring those ideas to life.

So we’ve been working on something with one BIG question in mind: What if the future was theirs to shape? We’ve kept this one under wraps for a little while, but on Monday, September 21st our BIG project will be revealed.

See you soon đź‘€
