DeltaHacks is McMaster's annual student hackathon. This year, DeltaHacks will be a 500-participant event taking place from Jan 16th-17th. We hope to inspire students to hack for positive changes that align with their passions - whether it's environment, health, inequality, education, etc. And hence the name “delta” - as “Δ” stands for change.

No worries at all. We will be providing mentors during the hackathon and running workshops. You can even read on one of our execs' experience when she started here to see how easy and fun it really is to learn at the hackathon.

DeltaHacks will take place on January 16-17, at our beautiful McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

Don't worry! We will walk you through how to generate great ideas at the beginning of DeltaHacks.

Once the idea generation is done, there will be an open mic and networking time to find a team. Everyone accepted will also be invited to the DeltaHacks' Slack prior to the hackathon in order to discuss ideas.

All university students! If you're someone who is willing to learn and wants to take a shot at changing the world, no matter what your field is, you definitely belong here.

Nothing! Zero! The event is absolutely free for all participants. We will provide you with the venue, food, Wi-Fi, etc. You just need to show up.

You will definitely need your laptop, phone, their chargers, as well as a valid student or government ID. Feel free to also bring along a sleeping bag, and we recommend some comfortable clothes.

The deadline for the first round of registration is December 11th at 11:59pm EST. The deadline for the second round of registration is December 24th at 11:59pm EST.

Although we would love to have you, we won't be able to provide individual travel reimbursement this year. We will be sending buses to certain universities in Ontario.

Yes, we abide by the Major League Hacking Code of Conduct.
