GWC Challenges
Take the AI + Sustainability Challenge
To make big changes, we need big ideas. Girls Who Code Challenges are an opportunity for you to think big about a global issue, then prototype a solution for your community. How will you use tech for social good to build a project for this year's theme?
What are GWC Challenges?
GWC Challenges are annual community competitions in which participants can build a project addressing a real-world problem and win prizes.
- The deadline to submit is February 12, 2025. Winners will be announced in March.
- Anyone between the ages of 13-18 based in the US is eligible to participate. You don’t need to be a current program participant or alumni to win!
