The histories of women in computing and women in sports often parallel each other as we vie for visibility and equity. The challenge is simple: Design and build technology sports solutions or products for female athletes, teams, and fans. This hackathon will have four tracks that you can follow, Athletic Performance, Data Analysis, Fan Experience, and Activity & Engagement. We'll provide the tools and tech, you bring the skills and creativity. Happy hacking!
Team registration is now open HERE <https://gatech.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8A4t9Kx3THesK9f> and only the first 150 students will be accepted. Plan and discuss your team BEFORE you register so that all members can register at the same time to ensure you are all accepted prior to the event filling. You MUST have a team name when you register so that we can track teams. Teams may be made of up to 4 students.
If you would like to register as an individual, you are welcome to do so, BUT you will be asked to form your team with other registered individuals at the networking hours prior to the event start. 4pm-6pm on March 6th. We will NOT accept onsite registrations.
