Not all superheroes wear capes, some wear white robes. Team Deep Web, which took first place at the Turin hackathon with an animated story dedicated to doctors, is composed by Gaia, Miriam, Giulia and Luca, all students at IIS Bosso-Monti aged 19-20.
Their victory marks the end of the first stop of the Coding Girls at the University of Turin. Over 100 young women organized into 17 teams participated in the creative programming challenge held at the University of Turin [see news: Starting in Turin].
The challenge brief was "You are superheroes! What would you save?".
