The St John's Chapter of Canada Learning Code has partnered with NL Eats to co-sponsor the Hackathon portion of FOOD FORWARD 2024

“FOOD FORWARD 2024,” organized by NL Eats, is their fourth annual conference. This year, the event will bring together national leaders in food security, digital transformation, and AI to discuss and address future challenges and opportunities in the food system. The conference aims to drive discussions focused on youth development, policy advocacy, and the role of diverse demographics in shaping the future of food systems in Canada.

The Hackathon portion of the conference will be focused on developing innovative solutions for food security.

Prerequisites:

None! This workshop is designed for beginners.

About This Program

Who this is for

  • “I’m curious about tech and code in general”
  • “I am a complete beginner when it comes to coding”
  • “I have some coding skills but I’m looking to try my hand at something new!”
  • “I have financial barriers that make it hard to pay for classes and training”
  • “I’m not sure if I belong in tech— I wish I saw more people like me leading this industry!”
This event is open to all adults 18+, designed in a way that seeks to explicitly welcome people with underrepresented genders—this includes cis women, trans women, trans men, non-binary people, and others who are marginalized because of their gender identity or expression. We believe that addressing the gender gap in tech is just one part of building digital equity. A more just and equitable future for technology in Canada means building programming that supports, empowers, and equips all learners who historically have been—and continue to be—underrepresented in tech, particularly Black, Indigenous and other Racialized learners, people in low-income communities and newcomer learners.  If this sounds like you, we can’t wait to have you learn with us.
