About

vsHacks is a beginner-friendly hackathon open to all high school students in the Greater Vancouver area. It's an excellent opportunity for participants to show off their skills, learn new skills, and meet like-minded individuals. From July 11-12, teams of 1 to 4 people will collaborate to build and present a project from scratch. Throughout the event, the vsHacks team will host workshops and fun events such as party games in the Discord server.

GET STARTED

To get started, register for this hackathon and join our Discord. Many important announcements will be made in Discord. 

Additional information can be found on our website.
