List of hackathons organized by the now-academy in 2020

The NoW-Academy will decipher these two, all too common terms (hackathon and design thinking), and give you the tools to effectively utilize them! This 1-day bootcamp will inspire you to lead ongoing mini-hackathons that are anchored in principles of design thinking. Participants will see first hand the power of collaborative ideation and rapid prototyping that can be applied "everyday". This is a highly experiential workshop that will catapult your innovative mindset!

We all know it. Too many companies are still bogged down in legacy HR "best practices". Our People want more (you want more!) but where do you go to learn how to lead a modern company? Where can you go to future-proof yourself? Whether you are: currently working in a traditionally operated organization; a recent post-secondary graduate; or someone looking to transition into the People & Culture (HR) world, this bootcamp will open your eyes to the inspiring People & Culture practices of modern companies around North America. You can expect a combination of lecturing, guest speakers, a mini-hackathon, and high-energy fun from start to finish! We are expecting guest lectures from San Francisco, Toronto, LA, North Carollina and of course Vancouver! Day 1 (Feb 25) - 9:00am - 5:00pmDay 2 (Feb 26) - 9:00am - 4:00pm
