Brace yourselves for a hackathon like no other! Here innovation knows no bounds and every
challenge is a stepping stone towards success. This hackathon provides a secure and inclusive
environment where individuals from underrepresented groups in the tech industry can explore
and advance their ideas. Based at the University of British Columbia, Hack-Attack 2024 will be a 48-hour in-person hackathon, hosted overnight from March 1st - 3rd, 2024. It is not just a hackathon; it is a journey where every line of code propels you into a future where tech boundaries are shattered.
