A hackathon is a collaborative programming event in which participants create an app, website, game, or other piece of software over the course of thirteen hours. 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 of all skill levels: those who haven’t programmed at all, women who have done some programming, and the best women programmers out there. It will be a great day to learn, invent, and create the future. Don’t have a team in mind? 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.
