Hack for Justice

Lehigh’s third annual student-led hackathon, Lehigh Hacks for Justice, will take place March 1-2, bringing together students to develop technical solutions addressing social justice challenges. Organized by five campus clubs—Women in Computer Science (WiCS), Lehigh ACM, Computer Science and Business Association (CSBA), Lehigh Blockchain Club (LBC), and the Lehigh Cyber Security Club (LCSC)—the 24-hour event fosters collaboration, creativity, and hands-on learning.
