Join us at Langara Hacks, the best hackathon at Langara College!
Our mission is to create a space where anyone can build and create, no matter your skill level or experience.
Just because we are a transfer college doesn't mean that our opportunities should be limited. This hackathon is an opportunity for you to learn, grow, and to create a project that's worth so much more than just a grade!
Note that you must have registered and RVSP'd through our hackathon website to enter the hackathon.
