What is hack the nu
HACK The NU is a 36 hour weekend event that brings creative minds from various backgrounds together to solve a common problem. This year's theme will focus on entrepreneurship, technology and leadership. Participants will work in teams to create solutions to problems that our local business partners are experiencing or looking to solve.
Our goal is to foster creativity, innovation and solutions-based thinking while helping to build the next generation of entrepreneurs. We will provide participants with a fun and productive learning environment so they can revel in their abilities and tackle real world problems.

I WANT TO BE A SPONSOURFrequently Asked Questions
A hackathon is a creative problem solving event in which designers, researchers, programmers and other innovators come together to collaborate and intensively produce a concept solution to a proposed problem.
There will be personal and professional development workshops, opportunities to meet new people, interact with sponsors, build on your skills, and join in on fun activities throughout the weekend. HACK The NU is much more than a hackathon—it’s a place for you to learn from and connect with industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and your peers, all while learning more about how businesses are innovating to address current societal challenges for the betterment of our communities.
HACK The NU will host participants from around the GTA and is geared to students and young professionals between the ages of 18 and 29. The hackathon is a partnership project with local businesses, and as such, is intended to help build the next generation of entrepreneurs. Participants will build their skills while working on a problem. They will participate in a pitch contest and present their solutions to a panel of judges. They will also learn about the value of sharing their time, treasure and talents with their peers, potential future employers and community members. If this is of interest to you, here is the sign-up for participants.
Not 18-29? We still want you to get involved. There are lots of opportunities for interns and mentors of all ages to participate: click here
