Hackathon Equal.STEAM

What is the Hackathon?

The Equal.STEAM Hackathon aims to encourage teamwork among UC students to solve challenges, most of which have a gender equality component, giving visibility and positive reinforcement to young women with an interest in STEAM areas.

This is a 3-day immersion, with the final presentation of the idea before a jury on day 4. We guarantee a fun prize for the winning team!

Recipients: UC students from all fields, with an interest in learning how to use technology and art to solve societal challenges.

Registration is free, but mandatory and with a limited number of participants.
