Welcome to HawkHacks!

HawkHacks came out of a desire to give everyone an equal opportunity to get into tech, whether that be programming, networking, researching, learning, or teaching. Join hundreds of students across Canada (and across the world) in a 36 hour period of exploration, creativity, and learning! Remember, you don't have to be a pro to participate - show up with ten years or ten minutes of experience (oh yeah, and a great attitude too!).


Requirements

What to Build

You can build anything! We don't have a "theme" or anything of the sort, so try to be as creative and inspirational with what you create. We highly recommend and encourage teams to use multiple sponsors' technologies, as they fit nicely with each other!
