What is #SheHacksSwift?

#SheHacks was the largest all-women hackathon in the world run by Girl Geek Academy back in 2014! It was an event focused on finding co-founders and building an MVP – Minimum Viable Product.

We’ve adapted this to the high school work experience – learn skills, make friends and build apps!

What is Swift?

Swift is an awesome and easy-to-learn programming language used to create apps for Apple devices. With its clear and expressive syntax, you’ll be bringing your ideas to life in no time!
