The purpose of WEHack is to create an inclusive and encouraging environment for women, nonbinary genders, and all underrepresented groups in technology so that they can gain the skills and confidence to excel in future hackathons and the tech world.

We aim to encourage more underrepresented individuals to harness their skills by creating software or hardware projects of their own. Whether it's networking with sponsors and hackers, gaining development and workshop experience, or competing against other teams for challenges and prizes, WEHack offers participants an opportunity to end the weekend with unique takeaways.
