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.

Testimonials

What is a hackathon?

A hackathon is typically a 24-hour event where you create a project (with a team or solo) to solve a certain challenge and compete for prizes.

Who can attend?

Anyone can sign up to participate as a hacker at WEHack. However, keep in mind that a lot of the hackathon content will revolve around women and non-binary experiences to reflect our mission of uniting and empowering women and non-binary individuals in STEM. If you do not identify as female or non-binary but consider yourself an ally of our cause, we would love to have you as a mentor or volunteer!

WEHack 2025 will be held in person in the Engineering and Computer Science West (ECSW) building at the University of Texas at Dallas. WEHack 2025 dates will be released soon!

No! WEHack is open to all majors and experience levels and would be the perfect place to work on your first project. Resources such as mentors and workshops are available to support beginner hackers.
