International Women's Day Hackathon

Empowerment Sponsors

An initiative to encourage women in tech

The last time men and women were equally distributed in tech was 1993. As of 2014, only 19% of the tech work force are women.

On the occasion of International Women's Day, we are calling all women programmers to participate in 3 days of non-stop coding. Either hack individually or as a team of two. Build products around the themes of productivity, social and fun/gamification.
