While these issues may seem global, meaningful change often begins at the local level.In the Girls in STEM Global Hackathon, participants will design innovative STEM-based solutions that address real problems in their communities. Whether you’re building an app, creating an AI tool, designing a prototype, conducting research, or developing an engineering solution, your project should demonstrate how STEM can be used to create positive impact.We encourage participants to identify a challenge affecting their local community and develop a creative, practical, and scalable solution. The most successful projects will combine innovation, technical skill, and a clear understanding of the problem they are solving.Think globally.
