Launched in April 2014, Women's Hackathon @ CSUSM is a bi-annual, 12-hour event that offers high school girls and college women the opportunities to work in teams and create technology solutions for selected non-profit organizations. This fun-filled event is free of charge for students to participate and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  The event also connects students with professionals from local industries who provide mentoring on student projects or serve on the judging panel.
