TechTogether Hackathons aim to address gender inequities in the hackathon community by providing inclusive and supportive environments for people of marginalized genders. The hackathons focus on fostering a collaborative atmosphere where participants can learn, innovate, and create solutions to real-life problems. Key topics covered during these events include coding, project development, and technical interview preparation, among others. The hackathons are delivered in-person across several cities, including Boston, New York, Seattle, Atlanta, Miami, and Chicago. Each hackathon typically lasts for two days, providing an intensive weekend experience. Specific dates vary by location, but the events usually occur over weekends to maximize accessibility. The hackathon is accessible to individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those who have never attended a hackathon before. Participants benefit from a range of outcomes, such as gaining confidence in their technical skills, making new connections, and improving their understanding of computer science and project development. The hackathons also serve as a stepping stone for future hackathon participation and broader engagement in the tech community.
