Welcome to
nwHacks
Western Canada’s Largest Hackathon
January 20 - 21, 2024
In-Person Event @ UBC
Whether you’re a seasoned hacker or you’re just getting into tech, you’re welcome at nwHacks. Join us in-person on January 20-21, 2024, for a weekend of creativity, community, and innovation! All you need is an open mind and an insatiable desire to learn, and we’ll take care of the rest. Create a project, learn new skills, and bond with friends, old and new — all in 24 hours.
This year, we’re introducing nwTracks! We’ll be rewarding the top projects in each category. You can submit to just one of the tracks - choose wisely!
Whether it's developing assistive technologies, improving healthcare accessibility, promoting mental health awareness, or supporting wellbeing, this track is all about fostering a world where everyone can thrive.
Find creative solutions to pressing environmental issues, including climate change, conservation, and sustainable practices. Develop technologies that can contribute to a greener and more sustainable future!
Explore ways to bring people closer and foster connection (in-person or online!). Build online communities, virtual spaces or social platforms that strengthen bonds.
Let your creativity run wild! There are no boundaries or limitations here; you're free to come up with innovative ideas that might not fit neatly into traditional categories. Explore new technologies, try out a new API, and build something unique!
