A Platform to Explore Technology

Every year, TechDiva Foundation empowers girls from underserved communities to explore STEM, coding, and tech education. The All Girls Hackathon (AGH) is more than just an event; it's a movement to help girls from low-income schools, orphanages, and underserved areas break barriers and unlock new possibilities in technology.

Why All Girls Hackathon Matters

At TechDiva Foundation, we believe technology should be accessible to all, regardless of background, language, or prior experience. Aligned with National Girl Child Day, the All Girls Hackathon creates a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space where young girls can explore technology with confidence and take their first steps in coding.

Bridging the Digital Divide

Many girls from underserved communities have limited exposure to technology. AGH removes these barriers by providing access to devices, beginner-friendly learning, and mentorship


Encouraging First-Time Coders

We believe prior experience shouldn’t be a barrier. AGH offers a safe, supportive space where girls learn to code through hands-on activities that spark confidence and creativity.


Diverse & Inclusive Learning

AGH supports girls from all backgrounds with multilingual sessions, outreach to government schools, and an inclusive space that welcomes beginners and non-CS students.

The AGH Experience

The All Girls Hackathon offers a beginner-friendly, hands-on experience that makes tech exploration joyful and empowering. Designed for first-time learners, AGH brings together access, mentorship, and creativity to help girls from underserved communities explore technology with confidence and curiosity.

Beginner-Friendly Learning

Interactive sessions introduce tech through simple, creative challenges designed for those with no prior experience

Mentorship & Guidance

Each participant is supported by university students, educators, and industry mentors who offer guidance and encouragement throughout the event

Confidence Through Creation

Girls build projects, share their work, and celebrate their learning while developing leadership, creativity, and problem-solving skills
