Impact Hacks
UC Berkeley Tech + Social Impact Hackathon for Bay Area female high schoolers
IMPORTANT: Due to the spread of COVID-19 in the Bay Area, we have made the difficult decision to postpone Impact Hacks to a later date TBA. It was supposed to take place on April 11, 2020. We sincerely apologize for this, but hope to host the hackathon for female high school students when the circumstances allow. We will keep this website updated with any information. Thank you for your understanding!

About Impact Hacks

Impact Hacks is an UC Berkeley student-run, all-female high school hackathon. Attendees are asked to build a software project for social impact in one of three categories: Tech + Health, Tech + Education, or Tech + Environment. We hope to encourage more women to pursue computing fields as well as promote the use of technology for ethical purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions



Due to the spread of COVID-19 in the Bay Area, Impact Hacks, which was supposed to take place on April 11, 2020 at UC Berkeley, has been cancelled. We sincerely apologize and hope you are all staying safe and healthy!

Applications for this year's hackathon are now closed.

You don't need to have a team formed beforehand - you can form teams during the hackathon. Each team may have 2 to 4 individuals. If you want help in finding a team before the hackathon, you can indicate that on the application form!

None at all! Beginners are welcome. There will also be workshops where you can improve your skills, mentors throughout the hackathon to help you personally, and you can also learn from other students!

This event, including all food, swag, and prizes, is completely free!
