Women in Computer Science is excited to announce that our ninth annual hackathon will be on February 8th and 9th! We will have both beginner and intermediate technical workshops in the days leading up to the hackathon and a 24-hour hackathon starting on Saturday! We'll also have various company talks and time for you to meet our sponsors. WiCS Hacks is open to ALL women and non-binary students in any major. All skill levels are welcome and we are beginner-friendly! At WiCS Hacks, you'll be able to learn new skills, practice problem-solving, create products and services solving real-world problems, and meet company sponsors and engineers in industry!
February 8th - February 9th, 2025!
All women and non-binary students above the age of 18 (including high school students!) are welcome to attend!
WiCS Hacks will be hosted in-person in the UT Austin Gates Dell Complex!
Nope! You aren't required to attend both days, and it's up to you which workshops you want to go to. However, if you are submitting a project, you must be present in person for judging on Sunday.
Nothing! It's completely free! WiCS provides students with swag, virtual workspace, and prizes for all of our events!
Whatever you'd like. Software, hardware, design, music, art, animation — take your pick. We will reveal the prize categories at the start of the hackathon.
Teams should be groups of up to 4 students. You can also work alone, but we encourage collaborating with the other great minds at WiCS Hacks.
Get checked in! Receive your ID card, stickers, and enjoy breakfast.
