We are finally bringing our hackathon and speaker series to the east coast!
In partnership with Harvard Innovation Lab, Trans*H4CK BOSTON will address the conversations on diversity in tech and entrepreneurship that continue to ignore the contributions of trans* people.
Over the course of a weekend, developers, designers, hackers, and social justice advocates of all genders will come together to create technology and celebrate proud trans* leaders who are shaping innovation in tech and social entrepreneurship.
You don't want to miss this!
BUILD APPS TO PROMOTE ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT
Our hackathons are designed for people of all technical backgrounds to create web/mobile apps in a fun and supportive environment. For this hack, we encourage participants to focus on ways to leverage technology to promote and sustain trans* and queer led businesses and organizations.
You need only bring a laptop and ideas--we supply you with a weekend of talks, yummy food, tech savvy mentors, and endless high fives to help you build!
