HackHolyoke is a 24-hour hackathon run by students at Mount Holyoke College. This year’s event will take place digitally on November 13-14, 2021, so you can hack and attend workshops from wherever you may be! We set ourselves apart by striving for (and consistently achieving!) a 1:1 gender ratio and welcoming college-student hackers from all levels. Our aim is to shatter any misconceptions about STEM fields and to celebrate diversity in these fields through creating an inclusive environment for anyone regardless of gender, racial, or academic background.
Students will have the opportunity to create amazing projects and showcase their work to a panel of judges. They can attend inspiring talks and innovative workshops, join in on fun activities, and have the chance to win exclusive prizes.

If a student does not request accommodations or does not provide documentation to the ARC, faculty are under no obligation to provide accommodations.
