WIEHack 5.0

Presented by IEEE BVCOE

WIEHack 5.0, the fifth iteration of IEEE BVCOE's flagship event, builds on the legacy of empowering women in technology since 2018. This 36-hour Women-Centric Hybrid International Hackathon is designed to give your ideas the time they deserve, encouraging collaboration and learning among participants. WIEHack aims to address gender disparity in the tech world by requiring that each team have at least 50% female members, thus creating a supportive environment where ideas can thrive and voices can be heard distinctly. We believe innovation is fueled by diverse perspectives, which is why WIEHack adopts a hybrid format, welcoming both international and local participants. Whether you join us virtually or in person, WIEHack offers an immersive experience that promotes collaboration, innovation, and skill display.
