One for the ladies

In engineering, the ladies hack it as well as the men. In September, more than 100 students took part in an all-female hackathon, the first of its kind in NTU. Jointly organised by Women@NTU and American technology company Xilinx, and supported by Garage@EEE, the young programmers were given just under 24 hours to find solutions for issues in the healthcare industry under the guidance of Xilinx engineers.
