Questions
Good to know.
Do I need to know how to code?
Not at all. Git With Her is beginner-friendly by design, and Catalyst welcomes women from every field — not just software. Mentors and workshops meet you exactly where you are, whatever you're building.
Who can join Catalyst?
Any woman curious about technology — students, recent graduates, and career-switchers alike. Come solo or with friends; we'll help you find a team of 2–4.
What should I bring?
A laptop, your charger, and an open mind. We'll take care of the food, the space, the mentors, and the good energy.
Will I actually build something?
Yes. The day is structured so every team leaves with a working first version to demo — and the confidence that you can build the next one too.
Your seat is waiting
