At Hackathon 2025, we're committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse tech community. This interview aims to better understand participant experiences across different gender identities, focusing on barriers to entry, participation roles, and perceptions of inclusion within the hackathon space.
We invite all participants to share their insights on:
- When and how they began their tech journey
- Advice they’d give for newcomers to get started
- Ways non-developers can meaningfully contribute
- Safe, beginner-friendly areas for students to explore
- Perspectives on gender representation in tech spaces
- Do we need to focus on actions that could help close gender gaps in participation
- If yes, what are the possible actions you can think of
Your responses will help shape more equitable hackathon environments in the future. The interview takes only a few minutes to complete. Thank you for helping us build a better, more inclusive community.
