Technica is the world’s largest hackathon celebrating underrepresented genders in tech. The hackathon is hosted annually at the University of Maryland, and is a weekend jam-packed with swag, workshops, networking, and awesome projects! This year’s theme is “Bring Your Ideas to Life!”

Last year we had over 800+ hackers participate (both in-person and online), celebrating underrepresented groups from many different backgrounds. We had 121 awesome projects submitted, many of which that tackle real-world issues with unique solutions!

Technica is an event that is fully open to all, and Technica will have no segregation between certain groups or preferential treatment of any groups. For example, there will be no gender-specific grouping that excludes others; no preferences, quotas, or reserved spots based on gender; no special judging criteria favoring underrepresented groups; and no preferential treatment of certain groups, such as allocating more resources, swag or other benefits to certain groups.
