Empowering Future Female Tech Leaders At GirlCode Hackathon. One thousand GirlCoders across ten cities are getting ready to code, create, and conquer at the 2024 GirlCode Hackathon, happening this Saturday, 31 August, 2024. As a Gold Sponsor, BET Software is proud to help foster an environment where girls can thrive, and to invest in a more equitable future for all.
