HackCamp provides a space for hundreds of first-time hackers curious about technology to explore the field further through hands-on learning, regardless of whether you have coding experience or not! Over the past 11 years, HackCamp has revolved around accessibility, inclusivity, and diversity. We strive to help people break into hackathon spaces by providing beginner-oriented workshops, industry connections, encouraging you to bring your unique perspectives and experiences to build your own project.
A hackathon is a collaborative, typically multi-day invention marathon where participants come together to ideate, design, and build projects in a limited time frame. It's a space to learn, experiment, and bring your unique ideas to life, regardless of your experience level.
This year, we are celebrating our 11-year anniversary with a 2-day, in-person event where you'll learn new skills, connect with like-minded enthusiasts, and build solutions to tackle challenges together. Hopefully, you'll leave with a newfound passion for tech!
The Format: * Learn Day: A day of workshops and skill-building in preparation for Build Day. With topics ranging from web development, version control, design, and more, there will be something for everyone. * Build Day: An 18-hour overnight hackathon that starts after Learn Day, focused around creating projects centred around accessibility, inclusivity, and diversity.
Prizes & Impact: For each project submission, HackCamp will donate $5 to one of these charities: AMS Food Bank, GiveInternet.Org, or Michael Cuccione Foundation.
