WiCHacks at RIT

WiCHacks at RIT WiCHacks is a 24-hour hackathon for women and gender minorities that is hosted at Rochester Institute of Technology Don’t have a team in mind?

Calling all women!

-Are you creative?
-Do you want to network with other creative women?
-Do you want to create technology innovations?
-Do you want to help solve world problems and make a difference?
-Do you want to have fun and try something new? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, join RIT Women in Computing at WiCHacks at RIT! About WiCHacks:

A hackathon is a collaborative pro

gramming event in which participants create an app, website, game, or other piece of software over the course of the event. Hackathon participants can be female college (including non-RIT) or high school students who are at least 16 years of age. This event is open to women and gender minorities of all skill levels: those who haven’t programmed at all, women and gender minorities who have done some programming, and the best women and gender minority programmers out there. It will be a great day to learn, invent, and create the future. No worries -- RIT Women in Computing will be hosting a series of events (including one on the morning of the event) to facilitate team formation. All meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks) will be provided, and participation is free.
