A Hackathon is an event lasting a couple of days where people join to build technological projects.
HackExtend is the only hackathon in Israel where any developer / designer can build any technological project. It is a hackathon dedicated to diversity, creativity and collaboration. We want to bring together a talented group of people, that will create extraordinary tech.

Hackathons are awesome for so many reasons. They stimliate creativity and problem-solving, give participants
a sense of accomplishment and worthiness, facilitate the acquisition of new technical skills, and beef up
resumes. Unfortunately, many engineers don’t attend hackathons due to lack of self-confidence, exposure to
these events, or because they may not have a team they can build with. This problem is even more common
amongst groups that are under-represented in the high tech industry.
That's why we decided to create HackExtend - a hackathon for people who usually don’t hack. We want to
create a different type of event; one that’s focused on creativity and community, not competition. It’s
about learning, meeting new people, and building cool things together. We are working very hard to make it
extremely diverse, and will prioritize diverse groups in acceptance.
We are looking for additional sponsors who share our vision.
