Win Claude Pro, expert mentorship & Shell gear! Tackle a complex engineering challenge with experienced peers & pitch live at Shell London.
Join us for an exciting challenge brought to you by Coding Black Females in partnership with Shell.
If you have 8+ years of experience tackling data, technology, and business challenges using Python or similar languages, we’d love to see you there!
Apply your skills to complex, real-world challenges in a collaborative environment. Working in teams of three, you'll spend one virtual build day developing and submitting your solution (teams can use AI as part of developing their solution). The strongest submissions will then be shortlisted and invited to present their approach in person to an executive panel and peers from the challenge at Shell Centre, London.
Event Format:
- Teams: Participants will work in teams of 3
- Build Day: One full virtual day dedicated to technical development and solution submission
- Pitch Day: Shortlisted teams will present live technical walkthroughs followed by a brief Q&A
- Capacity: Maximum 30 participants (10 teams). Participants should be available on both dates.
Spend a day having fun with people who enjoy solving problems as much as you do!
