How Does Hacker
Olympics Work?



Hackers in this stream will work in teams of 4 to complete a project (“mini hack”) instead of competing in the regular stream. The project will be built upon skills taught in workshops that run during SheHacks+, and are specifically designed for beginners in the Hacker Olympics stream. Bridge the skills gap that drives the lack of diversity in the tech industry

Women and non-binary individuals face more barriers to exploring tech interests and getting the education and experience to enter the tech industry. Hacker Olympics is their first step in bridging the gap.
