As we gear up for the Tech Titans Trophy Night 2026, our aim is to engage young minds in a thrilling hackathon experience. Recognizing the demands of academic exams, particularly for Grade 12 students, we've scheduled this event for August, post the exam season that extends till June 30th. GenZ Can Hack 2026 isn't just any coding competition; it's an opportunity for Canadian youth, born between 2007 and 2013, to unleash their creativity, problem-solving skills, and innovation in a collaborative environment. We're excited to witness teamwork and ingenuity as participants tackle challenges and push boundaries. To all our participants, we wish you the best of luck!
