#SheHacks is back in Melbourne!

There are only 42 spots and we will form 10 teams of 4 people on the Friday night. 

SheHacks brings together creative developers, designers, marketers and ideas people to collaborate on building a MVP (Minimum Viable Product) or prototype of your hack.

Are you a Hipster (designer), Hacker (programmer) or Hustler (marketing type)? Or maybe even a little of each?

Pitching Schedule

All pitches will go for a maxmium of 4 minutes with 2 minutes of question time. After 4 minutes time will be called and you'll be asked to stop your presentation.

Eligibility

SheHacks is Australia's first all female hackathon, while we do not discriminate and males can participate, the whole point of Shehacks is to be a female hackaton. 

Based on a survey we sent to ticket holders most participants want us to pre-select the teams.  This will make the friday night go more soomthly,  and we are likely to go with a team size of 3 or 4 with a healthy mix of skills.  You are still allowed to negotiate with other participants and with us if you want to fine tune this on the friday night.

If you have young children or bubs, you are welcome to bring them but just be mindful of other participants.

Requirements

What to bring:

  • Laptop (please remember to also bring your power supply)
  • Pens / Paper / Notebooks
  • Your willinginess to contribute

Wifi will be provided on site.
