Our female student team Astral achieved Runner’s Up at the Women’s Hackathon, 2026 held from April 8 to 10 at the Startup Centre, Thimphu!

A total of 84 participants took part in the hackathon, including 74 GCIT students competing across 20 teams. The hackathon was conducted by the Department of Employment and Entrepreneurship and funded by UNDP Bhutan, under the theme “By Women, For Women.” The teams worked on developing an innovative after-school care solution for children of working women. 

Congratulations to all the competing teams and to the winners.

We are incredibly proud of their achievement and excited for their journey ahead in the 6-month incubation program!
