Get your geek on with this girl gang as they design, make, game, hack, code and more! Developed in partnership with Girl Geek Academy.

Hamsa’s teacher has announced that their class will be doing their very own hackathon.

A hack-a-what? thinks Hamsa. She doesn’t know anything about tech or coding!

Can Hamsa and her team come up with the goods or will things fall apart as she plays it too cool for school?

Praise for Girl Geeks 1: The Hackathon

The Hackathon encourages engagement with technology, getting your inner geek on! This series is written for girls from eight to twelve with coding, computing and creativity at the core.

Rhyllis Bignell, Read Plus

There’s themes of honesty, integrity and being true to yourself too. It’s a fun, educational read that inspires girls to embrace their individual strengths, think creatively and be willing to try.

Carissa Mason, CBCA Reading Time

Brought to you by the Girl Geek Academy, a book filled with tech speak that won't overwhelm beginners. Join Hamsa and her group as they learn to hack, code and design while managing group work, friendships and more!
