BearHacks 2027

OVERVIEW

Welcome to BearHacks 2026, Sheridan College's largest hackathon this year! From April 24–26, students will come together at the Hazel McCallion Campus for an immersive weekend of building, collaborating, and innovating the future of tech.

Over the course of 36 hours, you’ll work in teams to design and develop a project from scratch, while connecting with fellow hackers, mentors, judges, and awesome sponsors. Whether you're a seasoned hacker or a curious beginner, BearHacks is designed to be an inclusive and supportive environment where you can explore interests, develop new skills, and bring your ideas to life.

Get STARTED

Once you've been accepted, create a team of up to 4 people. You can post on the #looking-for-team channel to find likeminded teammates.

Hackers are forbidden to work on pre-existing projects or to begin their projects before the hacking period starts, and no code written outside of the hacking period can be used. Teams will need to use a public GitHub repository for their project.

Participants that cheat by breaking these rules will be disqualified.
