We are excited to announce our first hackathon event and invite every one of you to participate! Girlhacks hackathon will be a 1-day virtual event where you have a chance to showcase your creativity.   It does not matter if you are an engineer, sales representative, or marketer. In a hackathon, everyone is needed.  It also does not matter if you are a high schooler, college student, home maker or a professional.  Creativity is a habit and an attitude; entirely within your control.  So come join us and don't be left out of this exciting opportunity to unleash your creative genius.

What is a Hackathon?

Hackathon is a fun and engaging way of creating something beautiful and unique rapidly.  Hacking/coding is a great way to bringing your ideas into existence.  Hackathons just provide the right format to expedite that creation.

A human mind only remembers short term events vividly.  If you get an idea today, don't expect to remember and be excited equally about it in a month from now.   Also we all have little motivation to create something that takes too long.   Hence, we invented Marathons: a foot race to cover the largest amount of miles within the shortest amount of time.  Hackathon = Hacking + Marathon.  In other words, Hackathon is a creation marathon.

Teams

Teams can be anywhere from 1 to 4 maximum members.  Teams must submit their ideas and work on the solution together.   And do joint presentations.  If you have not yet found your team mates, our first Ideathon event will be a great opportunity to connect and join hands with like-minded creators.
