Rural Sourcing | Women Who Code Virtual Hackathon

Houghton students are invited to form teams of 2-4 students to participate in this virtual event. Rural Sourcing (RSI) and Women Who Code are partnering to hold a virtual hackathon that will support social good in communities across the country. All skills, genders and backgrounds are welcome to participate. Registration is now open, so sign up here!

Participants will be on teams of 2-4 members. Don’t have a team? Don’t worry! We’ll get you connected to one. All technical skills are welcome (e.g. web, data, Java, Python, .NET, QA, UI/UX, and PM to list a few). Each team will have up to eight hours to develop something exciting to demo at the end of the hackathon. The goal is to make a positive difference with your app and to create social good in our communities.

We’re giving away thousands in cash to the winners of the hackathon and early registrants will also receive cool swag from RSI. At the event you’ll hear from a special guest and have fun opportunities to win gift cards and other prizes. 

You’ll need to do a few things to get ready to participate. First, organize your hackathon team of 2-4 members. Second, grab your GitHub username since that’s what we’ll use as a repository for your code. Third, have everyone on your team register here. Next, share this fun coding opportunity with your colleagues and friends. Once you’re registered, you’ll receive more information as we get closer to the kickoff date.
