uWaterloo students hacking for the Waterloo community! Express your creativity and build off of concepts and ideas you have formed in your classes and personal interests. Join the hackathon to show your skills in programming, design, planning, art, mathematics, engineering, science, health, technology, environment and your passion for making a difference amongst your peers.
Hacking is an incredible learning experience and a great way to network in your community and build something from the ground up. Oh and we have some great sponsors providing food, prizes and swag to ensure you have an awesome time!
The base for this hackathon is promoting Waterloo pride, uWaterloo students working together, building projects to either help students or anyone in general. The idea is to come with an open mind and create something to show your peers how much you’ve learned from your work here.
