MasseyHacks VII

Canada's oldest high school hackathon

MasseyHacks is a high school hackathon where 150+ students of all skill levels gather to learn, create, and experience something amazing. Over this 36-hour event, you will find seasoned mentors to learn from, lively activities to take part in, and a plethora of workshops to discover! Complete with three main learning streams based on your hacking experience, MasseyHacks is a place to explore the world of computer science and technology.

How much does MasseyHacks cost?

Admission to MasseyHacks VII is completely free! We want to give the largest possible amount of people the opportunity to participate.

What platform will MasseyHacks use?

Our event will be held through Discord. Workshops and ceremonies will be delivered through a web-conferencing solution.

Who can participate?

Any student in grade 7 to grade 12 can register to be a hacker. If you've graduated from high school, we welcome you to apply as a mentor!

Do I need to know how to program?

Not at all — in fact, we encourage newcomers to come and participate in MasseyHacks. We’ll teach you the fundamentals of programming, tech essentials, and loads more!

How will the teams work?

You can go solo and create something by yourself, but we encourage you to form a team beforehand — everything's better with friends. Teams can have up to 4 members. Don't worry if you don't have a team at the event, as we will have a team formation event for hackers to find potential team members.

Code of Conduct?

To ensure an event that is safe and enjoyable for everyone, we ask that hackers follow the 7 Week Challenge & MasseyHacks Code of Conduct. If you have any questions or would like to inform us of any issues, please email us at [email protected].
