  • Solution to any other job search, startup, or career-related challenge

The team submissions will be judged by the originality of the idea, best technical specification, design of the product, and viability of the business model.

“I am very pleased and honored to be a mentor for the women at The All-Women Hackathon.” says Lyublena Antova, Senior Scientist & Engineer at Datometry and a Mentor at the Hackathon, “As a female engineer, I am always happy to see events like these where other strong female engineers can help defeat the decades-old stigma about women in computing that is still prevalent in our industry.”
