Overview

ANNOUNCEMENT: THERE ARE NO QUALIFIED WINNERS FOR VGHC HACKS.

Virtual Grace Hopper Celebration (vGHC) is the world's largest gathering of women technologists. As a part of vGHC20, AnitaB.org will host a global hackathon for women in technology. Participants will be given team formation sessions and support via webinars to guide them in devising and building their own solutions.

This hackathon will be conducted online. We want the future female innovators and engineers to ideate and build inventive yet practical technological solutions for the problems that the entire nation is facing during the COVID-19 crisis.

The problem statement for this year’s hackathon is to design and develop solutions for the GHC event. Some of the topics that participants can choose from are:

a) Innovative Solutions for our GHC process, some examples are:

b) Innovative Solutions for our GHC website or mobile application, some examples are:

c) Innovative Solutions for helping attendees navigate the event

However, this is not an exhaustive list. You are free to choose a topic of your choice that pertains to the theme of providing solutions for the problems voiced by past attendees. We are looking for solutions to help people enjoy the event more and to minimize worries caused by our technological limitations. You also have the flexibility to choose a technology or a combination of technologies to present your solutions.

Join the vGHC 20 Hackathon! Don’t miss this chance to win a GHC21 Scholarship and make an impact on future Grace Hopper Celebrations!
