The Women’s Hackathon @ CSUSM is a bi-annual, 12-hour event that is open to high school girls and college women with varying background in computing technology. The term “hack” is used in the sense of exploratory programming, not its alternate meaning as unauthorized security breach to a computer system. Each event presents two challenges of local impact and asks student teams to propose and create computing technology solutions in the form of web-based or mobile applications. Students may come as a team or individuals interested in working with others at the event. Tech professionals serve as mentors and guide participants through the process of research, design, and development of their solutions. At the end of the event, teams present their solutions to judges from industry who in turn determine winners. Since its inaugural event in April 2014, the Hackathon has served over 250 young women from over 25 high schools and colleges in Southern California.
