WEHack 2026 Presents

WEHack 2026 Coming Soon

April 2026

Dallas' Largest Inclusive Hackathon

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.

"WEHack was the perfect opportunity for me because I felt like I was completely in a safe space where all my ideas were accepted. It gave me the chance to develop many different skills as well as many different relationships. I was able to gain the confidence from creating and conceiving a project all the way to presenting it in a completely inclusive space and it definitely fueled my innovation!"

"WEHack gave me one of my most memorable experiences. It gave me the opportunity to work with new applications and attend the amazing workshops that gave me insight into tech applications and the tech industry. As a first-time hacker, WEHack stepped me out of my comfort zone and empowered me to spend the weekend developing my technical and soft skills. Experienced or not, WEHack gives women and non-binary students the opportunity to work on a challenge, talk to companies, and develop skills!"

~ Elisa Paul (Sophomore)

"I had a wonderful time at WEHack. I gained a lot of knowledge from both independent research online and through my collaboration with my teammates. Engaging with professionals from various companies proved to be incredibly valuable. Along the way of developing our project for different challenges, I formed new friendships and left with a strong sense of confidence in my ability to apply the skills I’ve acquired through my coursework."
