In partnership with St Catherine’s University, this January 2021, Hack the Gap invites you to a hackathon focused on addressing maternal mortality in the Black community in the United States.

WHAT

Maternal Mortality Hackathon is a month long program aimed to rally to empower intergenerational teams of practitioners, faculty and students to generate innovations for women’s health equity. In particular, we will focus on the maternal mortality rate among black women and birthing people in the US.

WHY

To connect with other community members to participate in creative problem solving around a systemic and institutional issue impacting our society.

WHO

We need developers, idea people, designers, research people, health majors, sociologists and women’s health practitioners. Hack the Gap is for women and non-binary people.
