My partner and I (both women, both technical) have never been asked to join any team at any hackathon we&#x27;ve ever attended, and we&#x27;ve been to several. We always end up having to form our own team, which nobody else technical joins (because of having a female technical lead).<p>There was one hackathon where we were actually bumped from presenting, because two women couldn&#x27;t have possibly come up with anything worthwhile.
