REP WATERLOO AT BORDERHACKS 2020

By Jessica

Waterloo students are invited to rep their campus at the first ever cross-border hackathon - BorderHacks!

BorderHacks is on this September 25th - 27th in partnership with Major League Hacking. We're bringing together students from across Canada and the United States to work together toward prizes, learn job ready skills, connect with other students, and much more.

The schedule is packed with exciting events, like:

  • Skill building workshops
  • Virtual networking opportunities
  • Casual gaming
  • ...and much more!
BorderHacks is 100% free for any students to attend, and it's all being hosted virtually, so you can participate from anywhere. Join over 500 students who've already registered - reserve your spot today: https://www.borderhacks.com/

Our goal is to inspire students to get involved in the tech community, and ultimately to contribute to unlocking the potential of our future programmers, hackers, and designers.

What types of challenges can you expect? Participants will be given 36 hours to come up with their greatest hack with prizes in:
  • Cross-Border Mobility
  • Diversity
  • Entrepreneurship
  • Mobile Apps
  • Cybersecurity
  • MedHealth
This event isn't just for CompSci students either - teams will need members with experience in design, writing, presenting and more.

Interested, but need more details? You can find more details and our event schedule on our website: https://www.borderhacks.com/.
