Join us for Wackathon 2022, a 24hr virtual hackathon for Women and Gender Minorities hosted at The University of Bath. In teams of up to 4, compete to design the best technical system to solve your chosen problem against others from universities country wide. Enter to get goodies and be in with the chance of exclusive prizes through prize tracks and a much coveted spot on the podium. Register individually, and you’ll get a code to share with your team. No rush to get a team though, register today as just you to secure your spot!

With support from our industry partners there will be an opportunity for all participants to network and broaden professional contacts. Our company connections have further opportunities to fund tracks, provide goodies, judge categories and give prizes. All while meeting talented Women and Gender Minorities for their competitive career pathways.

Being a Woman or Gender Minority in technology is not always easy. With so few around, we are excited for an event designed for everyone to meet the other brilliant and powerful members of our community. Catered exactly for you, this safe, encouraging and invested space will aim to be a launchpad of learning and platform for showcasing of skills whether you’re an old hand at programming or a newbie to tech.
