This coming fall, students from across the United States will organize Technica, our annual hackathon for underrepresented genders in tech, for its tenth year! Technica has been the largest hackathon for underrepresented genders in tech in the world for the past six years, and welcomed over 1868 participants from six different continents last year. In the span of 24 hours, Technica gives our participants the opportunity to create new applications, websites, and hardware projects.
In 2021, Technica became the first hackathon to implement a hybrid event model—an event that is hosted both in-person and virtually, drawing on the success of our completely virtual event in 2020 and our history of in-person events.
Technica is not a typical hackathon—it serves as a place for the brightest thinkers in the country to come together to collaborate and share their innovative ideas. Our focus is on providing a welcoming, engaging, and creative environment to support underrepresented genders in tech culture. We pride ourselves in helping both beginners and experienced hackers explore technology and develop their skills.
Not only does Technica serve as an incubator for creating and promoting a gender-diverse workforce in the future, but it also provides an optimal opportunity for recruitment and outreach. We would love for you to get involved as a sponsor for Technica 2024!
Our available sponsorship tiers are listed below. Additionally, we are happy to state that Technica has 501(c)(3) status. Please let us know if you are interested in becoming a part of Technica, or if you have any questions or concerns about the information below. We look forward to hearing from you!
