Women make up over 50% of the population, but only earn 18% of computer science bachelor's degrees in the United States. TecHacks is a hackathon aiming to bridge that gender gap by enabling female students to find a passion in computer science and problem solving, while creating a supportive environment of other like-minded females to compete and work with. Sign up at https://techacks.ml/ as well!
Eligibility
The Hackathon is open to all self-identifying female and non-binary highchool and undergraduate students worldwide. Males are not eligible to join TecHacks, however if you are interested, please contact us about mentoring.
