Technolgap began as a student community at Carleton University in February 2020, founded by two students who were inspired by their experience at the Grace Hopper Celebration in 2019, they recognized a significant gap in the availability of information about tech opportunities for women. To address this, Technolgap was established as a platform for sharing hackathons, job postings, scholarships, and workshops among students, particularly women in tech in Ottawa.
As the community grew, it expanded its reach across Canada, offering mentorship programs and workshops tailored to the specific needs of women in tech. However, the community went dormant in 2022. In 2024, Anjali Patel, a former Events Organizer at Technolgap, took the initiative to revive the community. With a dedicated team, Technolgap are on a mission to rebrand and rebuild into a thriving platform for women+ in tech once again.
To support the revitalization of Technolgap, we are developing a new website that will serve as the digital backbone of the community. This website will be the cornerstone of Technolgap’s rebranding efforts, offering a comprehensive platform for members to access resources, connect with one another, and stay informed about upcoming opportunities.
