Trophy Design HachHerthon
Women in Tech & Engineering – Show Your Skills!
March 20 | from 9:00 AM | Campus-Boulevard 73 | 52074 Aachen
“How many women does it take to design a trophy…?”
Sounds like the setup for a bad joke, right? But the answer is simple: as many as want to!
That’s why we, together with the University Sports Center at RWTH Aachen, are inviting you to our HackHERthon at the DAP Chair. Join us!
Join us and register by March 13 – spots are limited!
✔ Hands-on Challenge – Get creative, design, and turn bits into trophies
✔ Networking – Connect with female researchers who know the industry inside out
✔ Innovation & Fun – No limits, no wrong ideas—just creating
✔ Future Opportunities – Explore career paths in product and production digitization as well as additive manufacturing at the DAP Chair
Who?
Female students, designers, engineers, and anyone interested in additive manufacturing and design are warmly welcome. You should have some basic experience with CAD – everything else you’ll learn in the digital workshop!
Why?!
→ The winners of the Lousberglauf need a trophy – and you’re in charge of the design!
→ No theory, just action: Learn CAD skills tailored for additive manufacturing!
→ Get the chance to win a €100 voucher for a sports activity of your choice at the University Sports Center.
→ Be part of the change – so outdated jokes about women finally become a thing of the past!
