An inclusive and social hackathon like no other.
Saturday, June 30
5pm - 1:00am
What is Hack the Evening Away? A new breed of hackathon.
Welcome to a hackathon like no other. Say goodbye to sleepless nights, feeling too intimidated to bring up your awesome ideas, and exclusion. The intensity of traditional hackathons is unproductive for a lot of great minds and Hack the Evening Away has a special focus on networking, socializing, and taking good care of you. We have healthy food and snacks, as well as beautiful decorations, and above all organizers that have studied the hackathon and tech universe and have then dedicated themselves to making this space perfect for you.
So come out! There will be awards, world class mentors, amazing food, opportunities to network and make new friends, and career/resumé tips. You will learn a lot about tech no matter what your level!
FAQ
Who can come to Hack the Evening Away (HTEA)?
We aim to be a warm, welcoming and inclusive space of anyone interested in tech, no matter what their level of experience. HTEA supports people who are underrepresented in tech. We will have several people (mentors and hackers) with high levels of expertise, but the golden rule for everyone at HTEA is empowerment, inclusion and no judgement.
