我非常荣幸获得全额奖学金,参加了新西兰NZ GirlBoss举办的'We the Women Hackathon'黑客马拉松,这是一场为期两天、致力于运用科技创造社会影响力的活动。经过层层选拔,我从全国数百名申请者中脱颖而出,与一支由年轻女性组成的团队一起,针对联合国可持续发展目标5(性别平等)展开研发,特别聚焦目标5.2——终结针对妇女和女童的一切形式暴力与虐待。
在短短24小时内,我们团队设计出了一款应急钥匙扣,可与手机应用程序联动,只需按下按钮,便能立即向用户的紧急联系人发送SOS求救信号。在把创意打磨成商业提案后,我们向评审团进行了展示。经过初赛的层层考验,我们团队成为六支入围决赛的队伍之一,在Spark NZ的企业领袖、科技行业专业人士以及NZ GirlBoss创始人Alexia Hilbertidou面前进行了最终展示,并荣获总决赛第二名。
这场比赛固然令人难忘,但真正让这段经历弥足珍贵的,是身边的人们。尽管挑战节奏紧凑,但整个氛围却是我所经历过的最温暖、最鼓舞人心的环境之一。离开时,我收获了真挚的友谊、与志同道合的年轻女性建立的宝贵联系,以及导师和行业前辈们给予的宝贵教诲,他们的鼓励让我深受激励。
我由衷感谢这次难得的机会,也特别感谢Sharma老师鼓励我报名参加。

Girl Boss NZ
I was honoured to receive a full scholarship to attend the NZ GirlBoss 'We the Women Hackathon', a two-day event dedicated to using technology for social impact. Selected from hundreds of applicants across NZ, I joined a team of young women to develop solutions addressing United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5: Gender Equality, and specifically Target 5.2, aiming to end all forms of violence and abuse against women and girls.
In just 24 hours, my team designed an emergency keychain linked to a mobile app that sends an instant SOS alert to a user's emergency contacts at the press of a button. After developing our idea into a business pitch, we presented it to a panel of judges. Following the preliminary rounds, our team was one of six selected to pitch in the finals to the Spark NZ leaders, technology professionals, and NZ GirlBoss founder Alexia Hilbertidou, where we were awarded Second Place Overall.
While the competition was unforgettable, it was the people who made this experience truly special. Despite the fast-paced challenge, the environment was one of the most welcoming and uplifting I've ever experienced. I left with genuine friendships, incredible connections with like-minded young women, and invaluable lessons from mentors and industry leaders whose encouragement was undeniably empowering.
I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity and to Mr Sharma for encouraging me to apply.
