Women Who Code

The Women Who Code Portland - IoT Hackathon is back the weekend of March 23-25! This event is geared towards women but we also welcome everyone who supports our mission of inspiring women to excel in technology careers. The goal of the hackathon is to gain new programming skills, have fun, and work in teams to build sustainability solutions. This year's theme is Sustainable Futures. 
We welcome your expertise at this event, whether you are a developer, designer, product manager, project manager, data scientist, business analyst, or marketing professional. You will be working in teams of 4-6 to come up with the next great IoT solution. This hackathon is geared towards all skill levels. If this is your first hackathon, you will fit right in! If you are a seasoned professional ready to lead a dedicated team, this event is also for you!
Our aim is to provide a welcoming and supportive space to learn about IoT, work on a new portfolio project, or spend all weekend tinkering with hardware. 
We will kick things off with a Sponsors Fair on Friday evening. This will be your opportunity to meet our sponsoring tech companies and learn more about them. We will get started with a welcome and short IoT talks at 7pm, before diving into idea pitches and team formating at 8pm. There will be plenty of food and drinks provided throughout the event. On Sunday, presentations will start at 2pm.
