March 2 and 3 8:00 am Saturday to 6:45 pm Sunday Interested in solving women's issues? Want to learn how to code? All experience levels welcomed. InnovateHer, a 36-hour hackathon celebrating marginalized gender and racial identities in technology is taking place on March 2nd and 3rd at Stewart
Center! It is open to everyone – yes, men as well – in all stages of their coding journey. Organized by the Purdue Student Government in collaboration with 7 Purdue student organizations devoted to advancing women in STEM — Girls Who Code College Loops, Society
of Woman Engineers (SWE), Women in Technology (WiT), Phi Sigma Rho, Computer Science Women’s Network (CSWN), Women in Cybersecurity (WiCyS), and Purdue Women in Science Program (WISP), InnovateHer’s mission is to educate all on the beauty and importance of
diversity and inclusion in STEM. If you have no coding experience, don’t worry! We will be organizing a series of technical workshops to familiarize you with all you will need to
know to successfully complete your InnovateHer projects. But it’s not all just code, code, code - we will also conduct workshops discussing the issue of diversity and inclusion in technology, providing a look into the struggles women and other marginalized
communities face in male-dominated spaces like STEM, making InnovateHer a holistic experience benefiting any and all participating. InnovateHer is sponsored by Wolfram Language and Wabash amongst others, and will also host officials from Meta, Oculus, Wal-Mart, and Microsoft in
a series of panels and talks, which will be an immersive learning experience for all! Be prepared for more than just learning, though, fun is definitely included, with stargazing and s’mores breaks! Go to

What do PayPal, Adranos, Nike, Socio, Patagonia, and Facebook all have in common? They all started from an IDEA!
Great ideas can come from all walks of life. Some can turn into multibillion-dollar tech businesses while others may be a lifestyle business or a local non-profit that fills a need in the community.
Purdue Innovates is proud to present the Moonshot Pitch Competition this Spring. I’ve attached a digital flyer and info below on the idea pitch competition that is open to ALL Purdue University students. Undergrads
and Graduate students are welcome to submit their ideas for this semi-annual challenge. Our team will be posting more info across social media and around campus over the next few days and would love if you helped spread the word and encourage any of your fellow
students and acquaintances across campus to participate. Moonshot
Pitch Challenge is an ideation-focused pitch challenge that asks students to think big – beyond the classroom – and pitch an idea that solves a real-world problem in 2 minutes of less!
Any idea can be submitted for the Challenge! Student teams will have to submit a video describing their idea and decide which category their idea falls into. There are 3 categories to choose from:
No idea is a bad idea, but only the most thoughtful and well-presented pitches will make it to the finals event. Finalists will compete for a prize pool of $5,500! More info can be found here
https://purdueinnovates.org/incubator/moonshot-pitch-challenge/ Inspiration is all around us and sometimes we just need a nudge of encouragement to get that idea out of our heads and into the world…consider this your nudge! |
