Hacking the Gender Stack

Join us at our NYC office for two days of coding, networking, food, and more.

Schrödinger is thrilled to return with our second annual hackathon in support of the diverse community of women and non-binary engineers in NYC, especially those early in their careers. 

Attendees will work together to design and build a modern web application, from infrastructure to interface, that will help chemists and materials scientists process large quantities of data to identify the best compounds for their needs. No scientific background is needed to participate–our team will provide an introduction!

Full event agenda to be announced soon.
