Include<a-thon>

Include Girls is a student driven non-profit organisation for women in STEM. Since one of #include girls main goals is to be inclusive of underrepresented communities in STEM, we have decided that for this year's Hackathon, our theme will revolve around Assistive Technology.

Assistive technology (AT) is any item, piece of equipment, software program, or product system that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of people with disabilities. Assistive technology helps people who have difficulty speaking, seeing, hearing, learning, walking, among other things. If you would like to know more go to: https://www.atia.org/at-resources/what-is-at/.

We are welcoming a diverse audience that is interested in technology and programming and would like to provide a comfortable space where they have access to mentors to work in their projects. However, in order to compete for our prizes, the projects MUST be related to Assistive Technology.

At our event, we will also be hosting a job fair where multiple companies will be accepting resumés and presenting their internships and job opportunities to the participants.
