Dear Professor Wills and Worcestor Polytechnic Institute’s Computer Science Department,

We’re organizers from Wellesley College’s 8th annual Hackathon, WHACK 2020. We would like to invite you and your students to participate on November 7-8, 2020 EST virtually. This is a great opportunity for all students, not just those studying computer science, to have fun and be creative in a welcoming environment that celebrates diversity. Would you please encourage your students in class or via email to register for WHACK? Because COVID-19 has forced us to move our hackathon 100% remote, we are now requiring students to apply.  Information about this year’s WHACK is attached below and our application closes on November 1. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions! We appreciate your help in encouraging students from all backgrounds to connect on our common passion for technology and creation.

Get ready for Wellesley's 8th annual hackathon, WHACK,

happening November 7-8th!

WHACK is for everybody - you do not need experience to join. Over 300 students from colleges throughout the U.S Northeast come together for 24 hrs to turn their ideas into reality. All you need is to be curious about tech.

Apply to participate and enjoy a weekend of awesome tech, swag, workshops, internship opportunities, and mini-events while learning from distinguished speakers, inspiring mentors, and peers.
