Rose Hack is UC Riverside’s first women-centric hackathon*, founded by the female leaders of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM-W) and the Society of Women Engineers (SWE). Rose Hack’s mission is to encourage individuals from underrepresented groups in STEM to create a strong network together through their shared passions in Science and Technology.
Come for a lively weekend of innovation, face masks, discovering and creating new technology, networking, mentorship, and much more.
* Rose Hack is completely beginner friendly for high school and undergraduate students of all races, gender identifications, and sexualities.

A hackathon is a technology-focused event where individuals and teams work on new projects in a short period of time. You can build anything you want. An app, a robot, a website. The only limit is your imagination!
Rose Hack is a 24-hour hackathon open to high school and undergraduates with priority towards women and other underrepresented groups in tech.
Rose Hack is completely free! You'll get a weekend's worth of swag, snacks, meals, drinks and a place to sleep.
Rose Hack is hosted in sunny California at the University of California, Riverside.
