HackCamp 2026

Welcome to HackCamp 2026!

HackCamp is a 24-hour, beginner-friendly hackathon hosted by nwPlus at UBC Vancouver. This year, we're bringing together students of all backgrounds and experience levels to learn, connect, and build with AI.

Your Challenge: Identify a problem facing a community and build a solution that makes a meaningful difference.

Your community could be your fellow students, your neighbourhood, or people around the world. Throughout the hackathon, you'll have the opportunity to attend workshops, connect with mentors, meet fellow hackers, and work with a team to turn an idea into something real.

No previous hackathon experience is required. Whether you're building your first project or experimenting with something new, HackCamp is a space to learn by doing, explore what's possible, and create something that matters.
