A hackathon is an event that gathers experienced computer programmers with different skill sets to “hack” or work collaboratively, on a software project.

The event is for computer science and IT enthusiasts and will also include a special “Girls in Tech” recognition. During the hackathon, participants will be challenged to innovate the next big idea – a sustainable service or product for the community – as the need for this is inevitable given the current status of our economy.
