Rose Hack is the Inland Empire’s first and annual women-centric hackathon taking place January 2025. Our goal is to bring together underrepresented groups in STEM, such as females and people of color, to encourage a unique network and create innovative projects through their shared passion in STEM.

All undergraduates, even if you don’t attend UCR.

Just click on the participant on the website, enter some information, and you’re good to go!

Applications are due in January. Don’t wait, click the link in the website to join!

Rose Hack is a completely free event! You will be allowed to attend workshops, listen to some wonderful speakers, and best of all, win great prizes with no entrance fee. 😀

Rose Hack takes place over the course of 2 days. There are 24 hours for hacking, and the rest of the time will be for judges to go over projects and attendees to check out workshops and speakers.

It will take place in your favorite engineering buildings! It will be held throughout Winston Chung Hall and certain BCOE buildings and classrooms. There will be a comprehensive list of activities and their locations in the final itinerary!

All the more reason to come and experience a hackathon! You can learn from the various workshops, speakers, and mentors, and they can help guide a personal project of your choice if you want!

Just yourself, device of choice (i.e your PC or laptop), student ID, and don’t forget a charger.

No, your project must be brand new and started only once the event has started at 9 AM. It’s your time to start a project fresh and unique to Rose Hack, so get creative and have fun with it!

No, you can work independently if you wish. If you do want to join a team, there is a limit of 4 people per team!
