McHacks is McGill's annual hackathon, happening on Feb. 21-22 in Montreal, QC.
We'll be hosting 700+ of the best hackers from top universities in Eastern Canada and the US. The event will last 24hr total, and winners will be selected by category as well as overall.
Whether you're a hardware hacker, a designer, a VR junkie, or a sponsor, we've got a place for you. Noting beats some serious debugging at 1AM over a plateful of hot poutine - we promise.
See you there!
