What is a Sunbeam Social?
Sunbeam is a day-long hangout where girls can make projects together, chat with other girls, learn to code from scratch, and enjoy delicious food.
We want every Sunbeam Social to have a friendly, chill, and supportive environment that helps even complete beginners make something they're proud of.
This event is more of a SOCIAL coding get together than a hackathon!!!
