vhHacks is Greater Vancouver's first free hackathon dedicated to high school students. More than one hundred students will gather and collaborate to build and showcase a project in 48 hours. No experience? No problem! vhHacks is beginner friendly, so anyone can join to learn, build, and hack.
vhHacks is all about learning! If you haven't attended a hackathon before, pick a path below and dive into the world of hacking! More info to come!
Design the user interface for your hack.
Write the code that makes your hack work.
Create a unique game in a short period of time.
Use hardware to solve modern problems.
A hackathon is an invention marathon. Students come together in teams to build cool software and hardware projects over the course of 48 hours.
vhHacks is open to all high school students of all skill levels. If you're older (post-secondary or above) and have experience in computer science, you can apply to be a mentor.
Nothing! vhHacks is completely free of charge.
Hackathons are very beginner friendly. Whether you're an absolute beginner, a new computer science student, or an experienced hacker, you're the right fit for vhHacks. Artists, musicians, athletes, gamers, everyone is welcome!
Teams are usually 2-4 people in size. Teams bigger than 4 will be split up into smaller ones, since larger teams aren't usually the best solution for a 24 hour event.
No worries! A lot of other hackers are in the same position. vhHacks staff will help you find other teammates and provide you with opportunities to find others!
