Gender Differences in Hackathons as a Non-Traditional Educational Experience
Hardin, Caroline D.
ACM Transactions on Computing Education, v21 n2 Article 13 Jun 2021
Hackathons, the time-bound collaborative project-based computer science competitions increasingly popular with computer science students, are one of the largest-scale innovations in computing education of the past decade. This research examined three hackathons and 46,500 surveys to find that educational benefits were unequal between genders in ways that would especially impact women returning to the workforce.
