Three students looking at a computer screen while working together at T9HacksPack a laptop, a change of clothes and some creativity, and head over to CU Boulderfor T9Hacks, a uniqueevent for female computer programming newcomers to explore a hackathon environment while learning and solving compelling problems.

A24-hourinvention marathon of sorts, participants will have the opportunity totry out new ideas and collaborate in a fun environment while racingto create the next great software project.

T9Hacks is geared towardcollege students and recent college grads, especially women—the “T” stands for “Title IX.” Men can attend, too;but in Sadie Hawkins fashion, they need to be invited by a woman. Women, non-binaryand/or trans individualscan register by themselves or with a team and may invite one other male teammate.

Explore the possibilities. Get started on a project you’ve had in the back of your mind. Create a solution to a problem you see often. Build something you never have before.

And for those who have never written a line of code: This event is especially for you. No priorprogramming experience is required; mentors will guide you through the process.

Participantsneed notbeCU Boulder students to attend T9Hacks,butregistration is required. The event iscompletely free, and food will be provided.
