Hack The Gap: Hackathon for Women & FLINTA+

🦋 Build What’s Next.

​_A weekend building lab for women and FLINTA+ people in STEM in Zürich._
​If you’ve ever felt like standard tech hackathons aren’t built for you, or that you need to be a senior ML engineer just to participate, this space is different. Whether you write code, design products, conduct research, or simply understand real-world problems that need solving, this one’s for you.
​Whether you’re studying, researching, or working in STEM, you’re welcome. You don’t need advanced AI knowledge or previous hackathon experience. A basic understanding of AI and a willingness to learn are enough to get started.
​Over one weekend in Zürich, we’re teaming up to build practical AI tools that actually serve people. You’ll be building, learning, and connecting, centered entirely on applied AI, LLMs & agents, and closing the gap in who gets to build the future.
​You won’t have to figure everything out on your own: mentors will be available during the weekend to help you shape your idea, work through technical questions, and get unstuck. And of course, you’ll have great food and a room full of curious, supportive peers to build with.

​Who is this for?

​It takes all kinds of skills to bring an idea to life. These are starting points, not a checklist, you don’t need to fit neatly into any one category:

• ​🎨 Creators: Coders, designers, or tinkerers of any level who love getting hands-on, building prototypes, and are excited to turn an abstract idea into something interactive, even if it’s their first time.
• ​🔬 Scientific Minds: Students, researchers, and naturally curious problem-solvers who explore the practical problems worth tackling.
• ​💡 Visionaries: Strategists, organizers, and creative minds who see the bigger picture and want to shape what gets built and why.
  ​Still wondering whether you know enough? If you have a basic understanding of AI and are curious to try building something with others, we encourage you to apply. You’re here to learn, too.
