Hack(H)er413 is a hackathon empowering women and nonbinary students to explore technology and STEM careers. Over the course of 24 hours, hackathon participants are encouraged to learn and develop new technical skills, network with company representatives sponsoring the hackathon, and innovate with passion. This hackathon is entirely student organized and aims to increase diversity and inclusion in the technology industry.
Our sixth annual hackathon will be entirely in person, and will be held on February 17th and 18th, 2024. Attendees will also have the opportunity to network with sponsor companies at our career fair and attend company sessions.
The hackathon is open to all experience levels and is free to attend. Help us raise funds for this year’s hackathon and empower students in technology! Donations of any amount would be greatly appreciated. Our fundraiser ends February 12, 2024.
