Our Mission

Founded in 2017, McGill Women in Computer Science (McWiCS) is a student-run organization that has worked towards cultivating a community for collaboration, exploration, and expanding opportunities for women in computer science.

Our goal is to empower our members to explore and excel in all aspects of computing-related fields, from software engineering to data science to UX/UI design and beyond.

Through a variety of events and activities, we provide opportunities for members to network, learn from industry professionals, develop technical skills, and build meaningful connections with their peers. Our events include industry panels featuring successful women in tech, community events designed to build camaraderie and support, and an annual beginner-friendly hackathon open to all skill levels.
