A hackathon is a community-based event where people from varying educational and technical backgrounds come together to form unique design solutions for real world problems. Individuals are given the opportunity to attend workshops and expand their understanding of modern technology. Hackathons are an excellent space for you to challenge yourself and gain skills necessary for the future!
WolfHacks24 is in person this year! For our first ever two-day hackathon we will be located at Chinguacousy Secondary School on May 2nd, and the Brampton City Hall on May 4th.
All Peel students from Grade 7 to 12 can participate. Although technical experience can be applied during the event, all students with non-technical backgrounds and interests, like science or the arts, are welcome as well.
This event is absolutely free! There are no fees of any sort to worry about.
Check for existing teams in your local circles, like at your Makerspace or your school's computer science club. You can even assemble your own team with your friends. Remember, you or your teammates do not require a technical background, so feel free to bring anyone who's interested. You can register as a solo participant as well, and will be randomly placed in a team by us.
That’s completely normal! As you collaborate with your team and brainstorm together, you will start to come up with ideas. Not to mention, mentors will also be available to guide you along the way. When working with your team, all members will be able to contribute and reflect on ideas as a group.
Unfortunately, applications for WolfHacks '24 have now concluded. Please check back next year!
Absolutely no coding or technical experience is required for Wolfhacks.
