Let’s hang out!
This hackday is the perfect opportunity to dive into the world of hacking and tinkering!

It’s perfect for anyone who wants to have fun with tech in a creative way!
Our experienced mentors will be there to help, answering all your questions about technology, coding, creative work, networking opportunities, or what it’s like to work in an IT profession.
This event is exclusively for girls, inter, non-binary, trans, and agender people aged 14 to 18.
You can find all info in German HERE.
Whether you’re new to coding or just want to explore something different, this is a great chance to learn in a relaxed atmosphere, take part in cool workshops, and connect with like-minded people.
You’ll get to try out different activities such as programming websites with HTML, soldering tech jewelry, embroidering T-shirts or programming small microcomputers. You can decide what to do once you’re there — no pressure!
There will be plenty of time to relax, chat, eat pizza or even watch a movie together in the evening!

What does MINTA* mean?
MINTA* is an abbreviation for Mädchen, inter, non-binary, trans, and agender. It describes a group of people who are not (or not exclusively) cis male.
What do these terms mean?
-
Mädchen: Young people who identify as girls.
-
Inter: People born with biological traits that don’t fit typical definitions of “male” or “female.”
-
Non-binary: People who don’t identify (exclusively) as male or female.
-
Trans: People whose gender identity doesn’t match the sex assigned to them at birth.
-
Agender: People who feel no strong connection to any gender.
MINTA* highlights the fact that there are more gender identities than just “male” and “female”. Many people experience discrimination because they don’t fit into traditional gender categories.
The asterisk (*) represents everyone who may not see themselves in these letters but shares similar experiences of gender-based discrimination.
You can find more information about these terms here. The Jugend hackt team also explains why events like this are so important.
