List of hackathons in Canada in 2019

Developers, designers, data scientists and strategists are being invited to take part in the City of Vancouver's DeCode Congestion Hackathon. At this three day event, we’ll work together to combine data, technology, and talent to shape creative ideas to optimize street us for an efficient, safe and reliable transportation network.

Pitch ideas, form teams, get advice from experts, and build a useable solution to address the users' problems over the course of a weekend. Sunday afternoon demo your solution in front of a panel of judges for a chance of winning some fantastic prizes! Hacking Health fosters collaborative innovation by engaging key groups of stakeholders, such as healthcare professionals, developers, designers, entrepreneurs, and patients, to create human-centric solutions to improve the health of our communities. Our weekend hackathons are fun, intense, hands-on events where small teams tackle tough problems in a supportive community of peers and mentors. PARTICIPATEPitch Your Ideas on SparkboardAs soon as you get you register for the hackathon, go to Hacking Health Hamilton 2019 Sparkboard where you can either pitch your project ideas, describing them briefly and their skill requirements (designer, developer, medical expert, etc), or find a pitch/project idea that interests you or that matches your skills. See a pitch/project idea that interests you or that matches your skills? Click on the board for further details and click on the Join button near the bottom to support the idea.

What is the Teens Learning Code Hackathon Program? Equipping the leaders of tomorrow with the skills and experience to succeed in the future of innovation. Not to mention, have a ton of fun along the way. Pack your laptop and an open mind - and join us for this fun, action packed Hackathon where we’ll tackle important social issues, chosen by YOU! With the hands-on, social and collaborative learning approach we’re known and loved for, Hackathons provide a fun, collaborative and intensive learning experience that introduces teen girls ages 13-17 years old to the world of solving real-world problems with technology. This special event aims to reinforce the strength in diverse teams and that anyone can contribute to solving problems -whether you are just starting out with coding or have many programming languages under your belt. The experience brings together technical workshops (HTML & CSS, UX/UI), work sessions, unplugged activities and industry insights where you're able to learn as a group in a collaborative, social, friendly and supportive environment. Teens will be inspired by the amazing instructors and mentors, and will learn the technological and creative skills necessary for this ever-changing digital generation. By the end of the Hackathon, you’ll have learned important skills to help you think critically, prepare you for the future in technology and contribute to the Web in a positive way. Extending beyond technology, participants will develop critical thinking skills and empathy by learning how to identify, frame and unpack problems to tackle. What can I expect? Day 1 -​ 6:00pm to 9:15pm Learners will spend the evening learning to pitch and frame the problems they’d like to solve with their teams. Day 2 - 9:00am - 7:30pm Day 2 will be jam-packed with technical and non-technical workshops, and plenty of time for collaborative work sessions. Learners will produce products that they’re proud of and have the opportunity to show off their work. Families and friends are invited to join us in the evening, where the participants will pitch and present their final projects to the crowd! Workshop Dates: This workshop will be run over the course of two days:  Who is this for? Our Teens Learning Code workshops and events offer female-identified, trans, and non-binary youth ages 13-17 opportunities to take action on ideas that will shape our future while leveraging the power of technology.
