Do you know a female college or high-school student who is (or might be)
interested in computer science, web design, robotics, video game
development, engineering, etc.?  If so, *encourage her to join RIT Women
in Computing at WICHacks on Saturday and Sunday of March 2 & 3, 2019 at
RIT*!   

*What:  *WiCHacks

*When: *Saturday & Sunday, March 2 & 3, 2019

*Where:* B. Thomas Golisano College of Computing and Information
Sciences @ Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT)

*Who:    *Female college or high school students who are at least 16
years old

*Why:*

  *  Encourage women to pursue computing
  *  Facilitate the formation of mentorship relationships between
    college and high school female students
  *  Teach transferable computing skills in a low-stress and supportive
    environment
  *  Have fun!

 

*WIC Hacks is a 24 hour hackathon for women *on the RIT campus, run by
the Golisano College Woman in Computing Organization. A hackathon is a
collaborative programming event in which participants create an app,
website, or other piece of software over the course of 24 hours.
 Hackathon participants can be female college (including non-RIT) or
high school students who are at least 16 years of age.  

 

This event is open to women of all skill levels: those who haven’t
programmed at all, women who have done some programming, and the best
women programmers out there. It will be a great day to learn, invent,
and create the future.  Don’t have a team in mind?  No worries -- RIT
Women in Computing will help you get set up the day of the event.  All
meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks) will be provided, and
participation is FREE. 

 

*For registration and more information (including FAQs), please check
out the **WIC Hacks website* <http://wic-hacks.rit.edu/>*.*   

 

 

Finally, please send any questions that you may have
to wic.hacks.rit.(a)gmail.com <mailto:[e-mail]>.  

 

Sincerely,

Lana Verschage
