The Future Is Now! 

There is a huge disparity in the number of women and non-binary students participating in hackathons. In fact, only 24% of participants are women and 3% of participants identify as non-binary/other. So, it is not surprising that this lack of diversity ultimately affects gender parity in the tech industry at large. By participating, we want students to gain valuable experience through networking, and learning from distinguished speakers, inspiring mentors, and peers.

Requirements

WEHack General Challenge- Develop an application that follows our theme “The Future is Now”. Think: Innovation, making the changes you want to see.

Toyota Challenge- Develop and create a mobile application with features and services that you feel like are valuable for an electrical vehicle? They can build a UI concept/mock, code functionality, build an app, make a mock-up of web browser app or anything they feel.

State Farm Challenge- Your challenge is to develop an app that fits our slogan “Here to help life go right.”. Use your creativity to tailor it to what you think may fit. Your theme can be fun, it can be applicable to real life, or whatever your team dreams up.

CBRE Challenge- Running into Operational issues as our work order requests are taking too long to process via existing workflows and approvals. Impact: This affects the commercial real estate industry today and this is the root cause of tens of millions of dollars of cost overruns. We end up cancelling large number of work orders due to this reason. Expected solution: Help us visualize the lag in process by mining the given data using advanced data visualizing tools.
