Join WWCode Austin for our second annual diversity hackathon! #atxdivhack
 
This hackathon is a celebration of diversity. Anyone who supports diversity is welcome — no matter your level of technical knowledge. 
 
We are providing a space for people of all backgrounds who want to start building their tech portfolio or finish up a tech project while learning new skills. Previous experience in tech is **NOT** required. If you are an advanced coder, we are looking for mentors. We are also looking for volunteers. If you are nervous about attending a hackathon, just volunteer and see what it is all about!
Plus, we have a parallel FREE workshop track for anyone who wants to come and just start learning, learn more, or meet people.
