If the gender gap can be fixed through hackathons, this could completely change how many women accept jobs in tech, and the overall culture of startups. It wasn't until I attended my first hackathon (HackNY) that I fell in love with designing and creating new apps. Though my major is not CS, I know I'll be entering tech after graduation, because of the hackathon experiences that started this interest and propelled my self-taught education around it.
