DeltaHacks 13 (McMaster University)

About this opportunity

DeltaHacks is McMaster University's annual hackathon. Students build projects that create positive change in areas like the environment, health, inequality and education. The organisers provide food, the venue, workshops and mentors. DeltaHacks 13 runs in person January 9–10, 2027 in Hamilton, about an hour from Toronto. It is free, and all you need to bring is a laptop. The organisers say hacker applications will open closer to the event, so watch their site and socials. Category prizes and swag have been announced but not yet listed. University students and high school students over 13 can attend.
