Experience Ventures: Hack-a-thon for Beginners | January 14-16

This opportunity is part of the Experience Ventures (EV) Initiative. Experience Ventures creates paid entrepreneurial thinking placements for college and university students with innovative companies in Canada. Their goal is to inspire your creativity, resiliency and future vision – so you can seize your future with the right skill set.

This Experience Venture (EV) is a Hack-a-thon and is targeting first-year students and those who have never attended a hack-a-thon before! You will be allowed special access to DeltaHacks 8, the McMaster student-run weekend virtual event that brings students together from all over the world!

At Deltahacks, you will be part of the Experience Ventures participants working in a team (you can invite your friends!), on a challenge from the many employers participating – you will have 36 hours to come up with a solution. There are lots of prizes, lots of activities, and it’s all lots of fun!
