WHACK Details
WHACK is an annual hackathon held at Wellesley College, a prestigious liberal arts women's college in the greater Boston area. True to Wellesley's spirit of empowering underrepresented identities to become tomorrow's leaders, WHACK returns for the seventh time to celebrate its mission of cultivating a supportive environment for women who are passionate about technology.Hackathons are an event in which computer programmers collaborate intensively on software projects.This hackathon is where awesome people come together to learn, explore, and build. Think out of the box, play with new technologies, ask questions, make mistakes, learn something new, and have fun! Past hackers often mention WHACK's inclusive, encouraging, and the mentorship-oriented environment as one contribution to their continuous pursuit in computer science and related technical fields. Last spring, hackers attended WHACK from over 30 schools and at least 75% identified as women or non-binary. For many participants, WHACK is their first hackathon and exposure to tech in a non-academic setting.
