women get IT done: Te Toca x WINZ Hackaton

Women Get IT Done. A Te Toca × WiNZ hackathon, two evenings with a full week to build in between. Te Toca is a Swiss women's health startup working on breast awareness and body literacy. A wearable bra with tactile guidance, an app, and workshops that 460+ women have been through. ​Women in Informatics Network Zurich (WiNZ) is the UZH ACM-W chapter, running academic, career, and community events for women in tech. Building on a real product, with real users and the founders right there in the room.

​How it works
1 Oct, evening. You start by going through the Te Toca workshop yourself. Then, design thinking coaching to get your head into the problem, the challenge reveal, and Q&A. After that, you form your teams, and prepare to get locked in for the week. ​The week in between. Build on your own schedule. Each team has a WiNZ and a Te Toca mentor to check in with, and the app to poke at as much as you want. ​8 Oct, evening. Five minutes to pitch, three to answer the judges. Winners and prizes, then an apéro to close it out.

​Participants get Direct mentoring from the Te Toca founding team and WiNZ + Opportunity to work on a problem that actually impacts women
