HSS Hacks

HSS Hacks is a hybrid 48 hour hackathon made to inspire the future generation of developers. Students of all backgrounds and skill levels interested in coding are welcome to attend this hackathon. It will be taking place on Marh 4th to March 6th, both online, and also in-person in Vancouver.

In many hackathons, projects are judged based on their design and the impressiveness of the project. In HSS Hacks we try to put more value on the idea, the practicality, and the functionality of your projects.
