A wide variety of parts including an Arduino Uno will be made available to all participants in order to make powerful devices!

Hello, friends and fellow product people! Product Hunt is mobilizing cities around the world to get together and build products on February 26th - 28th.

This time we'll be building great products together and putting Toronto on the map in a big way. Theme for the inaugural hackathon : Build things you want to see in the world. Yes, that's right. Build something you wish existed. The winners of the hackathon will receive a demo spot at the next Product Hunt Toronto event to showcase their product. We can't wait to see what you come up with!

Ideally, each team has a developer, designer and a product manager.  FAQs What should I build? Anything you would like. Do you wake up wishing a certain product or service existed? That's a good indicator you should explore it. Who is this event for? Developers, designers and product managers of Toronto/GTA who are interested in expanding their product development skills and turning their idea into a working prototype over the course of a weekend. Don't have a product idea? No problem. You can join a team that has an idea, or work with the mentors to brainstorm ideas. Can I continue building something I started in the past? No. We want all teams to start on a level playing field. Use this as an opportunity to work on something new.  Why is there a cost to attend? What are ticket sales used for? We are a community-run Product Hunt event in Toronto and want to create a great hackathon experience for you, dear hackers. Ticket sales go towards event expenses such as providing food and drinks for you. We want to make our event accessible, so if you are unable to purchase a ticket, please send us a note (info@producthunttoronto.com) and we'll try our best to accommodate you.  Is my registration/ticket transferrable? You can transfer your ticket to a friend as long as they need the same ticket type as was purchased by you (e.g. Designer, Developer, Product Manager) Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event? Nope! What is the refund policy? We offer refunds up until February 24, 2016 in order to be able to accommodate others. Our events sell out and we usually have a waitlist in place. What if I have dietary restrictions?  We will do our best to accommodate you - please email us at info@producthunttoronto.com upon purchasing your ticket. Thanks!

Engineering World Health-University of Toronto Chapter is organizing two complementary events in February—the EWH Symposium and the EWH Ideathon.

EWH Symposium, Feb 22nd, 8:45 am–5:30 pm William Doo Auditorium, 45 Willcocks Steet, Toronto, ON M5S 1C7   The annual EWH symposium is organized entirely by graduate and undergraduate students for the University of Toronto community. This symposium aims to expose the UofT community to current global health initiatives. This year, we will focus on how engineering solutions can contribute to interdisciplinary health challenges in low- and middle-income countries.   The symposium spans a full day of lectures, panel discussions, networking opportunities and a poster session. Participants will have the chance to learn more about exciting global health topics and network closely with leaders in the field. We are very excited about this conference as it will bring together a diverse group of passionate scientists, government, and industry representatives to promote world health to the next generation.   We are accepting poster submissions describing innovative solutions to global health challenges, including already published data. Please use the registration form to submit your poster abstract (max. 2000 char.). There will be two poster prizes!     EWH Ideathon, Feb 28th, 9:00 am–8:30 pm Rm 412 Rosebrugh Building, 164 College Street, Toronto, ON, M5S 3G9   This complementary event to the EWH symposium is an opportunity for students to work in interdisciplinary teams, apply their knowledge gained from the symposium, and generate innovative ideas geared at solving global health issues. This is not a hackathon, rather this is a gathering of brilliant minds ready to spark positive change. Participants are not required to attend the symposium beforehand, however, the talks and panel discussions at the symposium will certainly help provide important insights and guidance for this competition. 

ProtoHack wants to provide non-coders with the tools, knowledge and connections to bring their idea to life through the creation of a real prototype. No coding will be required. At the end, you and your team will present your project on stage to a panel of judges to get feedback.
