About TerraHacks
TerraHacks is a 36-hour hackathon open to everyone of all skill levels to come collaborate on projects and work together to create solutions to real-world problems. TerraHacks 2024 is held on Toronto Metropolitan University Campus in Downtown Toronto from August 2nd to August 4th. From various mini-events, networking opportunities with sponsors and peers, to workshops and mentorship, TerraHacks aims to offer a memorable experience for all its participants in its first year.
TerraHacks aims to bridge the gap between academia and the industry, while raising awareness about various environmental issues facing our world today. We aim to create a space for students from diverse backgrounds to bring their ideas together in order to create an impactful solution, build their portfolio, and learn in fast-paced environment, all while offering a fun experience for all our participants.
