The Women in Computing Hackathon (WiCHacks) mission is to enhance opportunities for students who identify as women or gender minorities in the tech industry and all students who support them, regardless of gender or sex. WiCHacks values diversity and inclusion as essential to our mission and welcomes anyone in support of moving this mission forward, including those of other genders or sex, to sign up for the hackathon. Hosted by Women in Computing (WiC) at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), the hackathon is a 24-hour, collaborative programming event in which participants create an app, website, game, or other piece of software throughout the event!

This event is free and open to all skill levels: from students who haven't programmed at all, to the best programmers out there, it will be a great day to learn, invent, and create the future!

Who can participate: 
Any undergraduate or graduate college student, who is 18+ and supports the mission of WiCHacks can participate! As a reminder, The Women in Computing Hackathon (WiCHacks) mission is to enhance opportunities for students who identify as women or gender minorities in the tech industry and all students who support them.

Please note that while the event is open to both RIT and non-RIT community members, due to the size of the hackerspace, attendance will be limited. As a result, priority for attendance will be given to RIT community members. Non-RIT community members will be asked to fill out a registration form and may be contacted for additional information.
