Frequently Asked Questions

What is uOttaHack?

uOttaHack is an MLH hackathon hosted by University of Ottawa students! It's a
sprint-like event where students from all across North America will come to turn
their ideas into real projects through hardware and software. However, they only
have 36 hours to accomplish their goal... Hackers will receive mentorship, learn
about new job opportunities, get some cool swag, and have fun along the way!

Will uOttaHack happen in person or virtually?

No. After 2 years the hackathon will be hosted on the beautiful campus of the
University of Ottawa and will take place from February 10th - 12th, 2023. Don’t
worry about getting lost! We'll have plenty of signage and volunteers around
campus to guide you. We can't wait to see you there!

Who can participate?

Any students, at any skill level, from any field of study are welcome! The only
thing you need is an interest in building something amazing and the motivation
to learn!


Are you a recent grad? No worries - as long as you've graduated in the last 12
months, you're welcome to apply and attend!

How much will it cost me?

uOttaHack has no admission fees and all meals and benefits during the hackathon
are free. Did we also mention that each hacker will be getting an amazing swag
bag?

What if I've never been to a hackathon before?

There's a first time for everything, right? Hackathons are all about learning
new things, meeting people, and having an amazing experience. We'll have plenty
of workshops and mentors during the event to help you out! At our last
iteration, 30% of our participants were first-time hackers!

Can I start working on a project before the event?

All projects must be started from scratch at the event, but you're free to start
brainstorming ideas beforehand!

Can I participate as part of a team?

Yes! Hacking can be done solo, or in a team of up to four participants.

Can high school students come?

Absolutely! We highly encourage high school students to apply! Minors attending
will be asked to have waivers signed by their parents/guardians.

Sounds great, but what do I win?

We started uOttaHack to empower students in creating innovative, fun, and
awesome projects, without the stress of a regular semester's weekend. The
biggest rewards you will get are the friends you make that will last a lifetime
and an experience you won't forget.


But, with that said - you'll have the chance to demo to our stellar panel of
judges and the top teams will be awarded sweet prizes! There will also be
smaller prizes for specific categories and some given out by our sponsors! In
the past, hackers have won DJI drones, Nintendo Switches, and Fitbit smart
watches!

What is Major League Hacking?

Major League Hacking is the official student hackathon league in North America &
Europe. They work with over 200 member events and empower over 70,000 students
every year.

Is there a code of conduct?

Yes there is. The organizers care deeply about everyone's experience and
ensuring they get to hack in a comfortable and safe environment. You can find it
here.

I don't live in Ottawa, can I still go?

uOttaHack will be providing buses to most major cities in and surrounding
Ontario! Accepted attendees will need to confirm ahead of time should bus
services be needed. Otherwise travelling to uOttaHack will be at the expense of
the participant.
