Join us as a Hackathon Mentor for our upcoming event, "Hacking Global Injustices: Build Confidence. End Sexism." This impactful hackathon is scheduled from 8 to 10 March, in the heart of London, with options to participate remotely. Our goal is to tackle the root causes of violence against women by developing an innovative app, "Comeback CatZ", which helps you build confidence and combat everyday sexism using humour.

What We've Achieved:
We've successfully developed "Sophia", a global chatbot designed to empower victims of domestic violence. Now, we are setting our sights on creating a tool that addresses the underlying societal issues contributing to gender-based violence.

Tech Professionals (Developers, Engineers, etc.)

Gamers with a passion for social change
Product Managers with a vision for impactful products
Legal Professionals with insights on compliance and privacy
Creative Minds (Artists, Comedians, Writers)
Researchers in gender studies, psychology, or social sciences
AI Experts with a knack for innovative solutions
Business Managers who understand the market needs

Your Role as a Mentor:
As a Hackathon Mentor, your role will be to guide, inspire, and assist teams in developing their ideas into tangible solutions. Your expertise and insights will be invaluable in helping participants shape a tool that could make a significant difference in combating sexism and building confidence.

Before the Event:
Your involvement is not limited to the hackathon days. We encourage (and would be delighted for) mentors to engage with the hackathon team even before the event. This collaboration will allow for a more profound development process and a better understanding of the project goals.

Why Volunteer with Us?
