Vancouver Datajam 2020 is a virtual one-day, hackathon-like event where you can develop your coding skills and meet other members of the community. Participating groups include RLadies, PyLadies, SFU Scientific Programming, Women in Machine Learning/Data Science, Women Techmakers.
For the 2020 Datajam, we’re helping drive change towards sustainable oceans through technology. Datajam participants will work to bring awareness to the plastics crisis with projects that aim to understand, visualize, and make predictions about plastic waste data. This free social coding event brings together Vancouver’s young programmers, scientists and citizens with the common goal of hacking for a plastic waste free future.
The event consists of a day long hack where hackers exercise what they've learned in teams, and then a dinner/networking event that includes a panel. Our aim is to foster a beginner-friendly environment and to increase the visibility of femme-identified individuals, WoC and gender minorities in the fields of data science and technology. If you have any questions or concerns about the event please contact vancouverdatajam@gmail.com
Our event is open to everyone, especially those coming from marginalized backgrounds and gender minorities.
