SheHacks Boston
SheHacks Boston is a 36-hour, student-run hackathon open to all female and non-binary students. Lead by women from across Boston's universities, SheHacks is set to be the world's largest all-female and non-binary hackathon in the world!
The mission of SheHacks is to empower women and femme nonbinary individuals in computer science to achieve; provide them with opportunities to explore the tech industry in an inspiring, encouraging, and energizing environment; and to create a community of inclusivity within the Boston tech industry.

Hacker Accessibility
One of our goals as a team is to try and reach women from areas in the country that don't have hackathons they can attend at their school as well as who can't afford to travel to a hackathon. We are hoping to incentive and encourage women from these underserved communities by providing them travel reimbursements so that they can attend our event and potentially get inspired to host their own SheHacks at their school! If given the funding, our group would like to provide a $100 travel reimbursement to each woman traveling outside of Massachusets.

Sponsor a Student Hacker
It costs $134 to sponsor just one high school or college student to attend our event for free. This cost includes food, swag, access to resources such as mentors, workshops, hardware and more!
$500
Sponsor a Prize
Help us provide awesome prizes to reward our courageous students, who complete their project! In addition to prizes offered by sponsors, our team wants to provide prizes for beginner hackers, the best high school hack, and more! Our goal is to reward all participants of all skill levels, so everyone has the chance to win something for their efforts. We are hoping to award $500 in prizes, for each category. Prizes will range from various technologies to memberships for educational coding resources.

Hacker Health
One of the hardest parts of the event is being able to feed everyone! Help us provide healthy snacks for our hackers such as apples and oranges, so we can ensure that our hackers are constantly energized without overdosing on coffee. On average, it costs $1000 to feed just a 100 hackers for each meal.
