Join hundreds of hackers to build and explore exciting possibilities
University of Ottawa · February 9-10, 2019
Thank you so much for attending uOttaHack 2019! This event wouldn't have been possible without all the hackers, volunteers, and sponsors. We can't wait to see you all again at uOttaHack 3!
The biggest hackathon in the capital is back!
uOttaHack is back for the 2019 hackathon season, so get ready for another exciting weekend full of teamwork, innovation, and creativity! On February 9th and 10th, we'll challenge over 500 hackers from across North America to build their most ambitious projects in just 24 hours.
While you're not busy working on your project, you'll have the chance to attend workshops, play with awesome tech, talk to recruiters, and make some new friends. We believe that everybody should be empowered to create and bring their ideas to life. We encourage artists, entrepreneurs, and innovators from all faculties and skill levels to attend. We can't wait to see you there!

Stories from our hackers
Xunxun Shi
Biotechnology, 5th year
University of Ottawa
"As a student who isn't enrolled in a tech major, uottaHack marked a great turning point for me. My experience not only exposed me to tech such as machine learning and augmented reality, but also challenged my creative thinking and team building skills. I ended up loving what I learned from the hackathon enough to pursue a career in machine learning. I am now a data scientist intern at TELUS, and I wouldn't be here if I hadn't clicked on the sign-up button."

"Had a lot of fun meeting cool people, experimenting with frontend technologies, and winning a prize for a challenge!"

"'sudo apt-get install hack' doesn't actually get you a hack that you can submit. In all seriousness - I realized I really enjoy the mentorship side of the hackathon and helped me decide that project management is right for me. Next year I'm definitely applying for a mentor position."
