GraceHacks: All-female and Non-Binary Hackathon!

The aim of GraceHacks is to foster a welcoming and supportive hackathon environment for women and non-binary students. GraceHacks strives to empower these underrepresented groups and ensure that they have the confidence to create without inherent bias or sexism.

 

GraceHacks will be taking place from November 13-14 at the Stevenson Event Center in UC Santa Cruz and Discord for a 24 hour hybrid hackathon. We are the first all women/non-binary hackathon at UC Santa Cruz and we have a fun day filled with hacking, workshops, networking, and swag!
