Inclusivity Statement
TechNova's mission is to create safe, inclusive and empowering spaces for women and non-binary individuals to start, grow and thrive in the technology industry. We ensure that all members of the hackathon are respectful of our participants' gender expression. The TechNova team would also like to acknowledge that “female” or “women” is not an accurate description for many people and it may make some feel unwelcome. We use the term Women+ to specifically and intentionally include cis and trans women, as well as non-binary, agender, or intersex people, and other gender minorities.
