About the challenge

A hackathon is a time-boxed event where people come together to collaborate intensively on building new projects, usually over 24-48 hours. Participants form teams and combine skills in software development, design, and business to brainstorm ideas, create prototypes, and present working solutions. The focus is on creativity, rapid problem-solving, and learning by doing, with outcomes ranging from apps and hardware builds to social impact solutions and startup concepts.

StormHacks is Western Canada's largest student hackathon, where participants from different backgrounds and all skill levels come together to collaborate, innovate, and create unique design, software or hardware projects from the ground up.

Within just 24 hours, teams bring their ideas to life. We empower and enable teams by providing an abundance of workshops, mentors, sponsors, and hardware. StormHacks fosters creativity, learning, and teamwork in an energetic, inclusive environment.
