Hack Like W@CC '20 Ideas:

education:

  1. anti plagiarism chrome extension that students can run while they are writing, also auto-creates citations
  2. source finder for dbqs and such (highlight something in your google doc, click the extension, and the extension searches the web for sources that might support your reasoning
  3. mental health-related project? online school is not it for sure
  4. report harrassment issues and mental health concerns on campus and be paired with a student to have a coffee chat with? (seems kinda cheesy and might already exist)
  5. covid-19 encourages child labor in some developing countries, especially countries where girls' education is not prioritized, because people are losing their jobs and need a source of income -> crowdfunding platform that collects resources (anything from monetary donations to devices to subscriptions to academic resources) to encourage girls to learn from home

healthcare:

  1. use maps api to find the nearest pharmacy that has all the items from your prescription
  2. professional calendar feature where doctors can store appointments and share with patients so patients can auto-book appointments instead of calling
  3. bringing awarness to regular issues faced by women

workforce:

  1. app/website for monthly bias training for all employees (new topic every month)
  2. anonymous harassment reporting system (this is probably also a thing already lol) - could makes things up
  3. alot more men than women in certain fields - app for women across diff projects to interact and get to know each other - problem might be there's a women resources company; more informal rather than keeping it in the workplace
  4. real-time statistics about gender ratios within the workplace
  5. during recruitment process, a tool that lets you know how much men in that position has gotten paid
  6. women face imposter syndrome a lot more
  7. platform to connect events and companies to certain dashboards so it's easier for women to navigate thru career fairs and local women support group events.

sports:

  1. painful issues with periods
  2. issues with confidence
  3. lack of encouragement
  4. inequality with body-shaming
  5. women have to work harder to prove themselves
  6. access to sports equipment
  7. not going to gym bc too many guys

Solutions

  • connect girls with professsional athletes
  • show who is signed up for the CRC and see your not the only girl
  • virtual simulation of girls playing

survey:

  1. optional gender identification
