Wegmans has been a sponsor for WiCHacks since 2018.
WiCHacks is an all-female and non-binary 24-hour hackathon hosted by Women in Computing at RIT. A hackathon is a collaborative programming event in which participants create an app, website, game, or other piece of software over the course of the event.
This event is open to all skill levels: from students who haven't programmed at all, to the best programmers out there, it will be a great day to learn, invent, and create the future!
When Wegmans asked me to volunteer for the WiChacks event that they sponsor, I was happy to oblige. To assist and be part of an event where other females aspire to go into technology is an honor.

Graduating as one of two females with a Computer Science degree in Software Development ignited my passion for supporting women in technology.
In 2020, I organized Wegmans' sponsored event, coordinating volunteers, judges, swag, and prizes.
In 2019, I attended a dinner where students asked about my field and career.
In 2018, I gave a Tech Talk speech on technology Wegmans was developing for customers.
Engaging with driven, tech-loving women is an honor. I hope my experiences inspire them to pursue technology careers and share their success stories with future generations.
