Hackbright Academy, Girls in Tech (SF) and DocuSign are proud to sponsor: Hacking for Humanity, a social innovation Hackathon, uniting women to Solve Global Challenges!
Join us as we innovate for social change for girls and women on this exciting 2-day event. We’ll be hacking away on topics that deal with girls and women including (but not limited to) the following:
- Homelessness
- Sexual Assault
- Domestic Violence
- Human Trafficking
- Women's Health
Hackathons exist to enable the rapid prototyping of a complex problem and provide a range of solutions in a short period of time. By hacking with us, we are aiming to think bigger for global change with tech, whilst also allowing impassioned women to engage in innovation and entrepreneurship within our tech ecosystem.
We are calling all women and men across the globe, including developers, designers, product developers and entrepreneurs, plus businesses that want to embrace the idea of Social Innovation, or initiatives that combine a positive mission with business.
Join the the upcoming Hackathon by purchasing a $20 ticket, which covers meals & snacks during the 2-day event! This hackathon is beginner friendly and for participants new to coding or hackathons. However, any and all levels are welcome. No team? No problem - You'll get opportunities to network and connect with like minded hackers in our community before any hacking begins. Form a team, solve a problem, create something awesome, present it to the audience and win prizes!
Why attend a Hackathon? Hackathons are a great chance to meet people who are just as excited about programming as you are. They can lead to great product creations, interviews, and even new jobs! If you thrive on creativity, enjoy free food, memorabilia, and cash prizes then hackathons are worth checking out.

Recent Review:
It might seem improbable that in 10 short weeks you can become a Software Engineer, but it is true. Everyone in my class was making a career change and most people had little to no experience with programming. But the placement rate for graduates is extremely high, and the demand for women in tech is only growing. There is an impressive list of partner companies, and great connections to other ...
