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?
