Women Make Challenge • Edition #1 2018

Just f*ing ship it in 30 days


During October 2018, Women Make organized its own challenge. The goal was simple: build and launch something in 30 days.


Everyone is busy with their life. It can be hard to find time to work on something new and challenging. This hackathon was the perfect opportunity to make it happen.

Our members had 30 days to define a project, build it and launch it. This was also a way to achieve our goals together, build it not in a competitive way, but rather as a community, by helping and supporting each other.
