Learn, Connect, Build!

• Tune into our workshops that explore design and development topics ranging from all different topics including introduction to Web Development, React.js, Version Control and Figma design. Skill levels will be specified beforehand and vary from beginner to intermediate.
• Network with a diverse community of fellow hackers at various points of their hacking journey.

• Attend the HackCamp 2024 Opening Ceremony and gather with the team you chose (max. 4 hackers), or link up with new friends during our in-person Build Day activities. Solo hackers are also welcome to participate!
• Collaborate with your team to brainstorm a solution to a real-world problem or need, with a specific focus on HackCamp's pillar of inclusivity, accessibility, and diversity.
• Upload your hard work and pitch to the HackCamp Portal AND Devpost by the hard deadline at 9:00 PM PST, then commend yourself for a job well done! For each project submitted, HackCamp will pledge $5 to a charity of your choice (BC Children's Hospital, Nature Trust of British Columbia, or Alzheimer's Society of Canada).
  
  Note: Registration on Devpost alone does not grant access to the event, you must have been admitted to HackCamp 2024 through our application process.
