2025 UWB Hacks: Save the World!

We invite students to unite, innovate, and create for good with support from Avanade and seven campus groups, led by ACM. Participants will align projects to tracks under the theme: “Save the World,” embracing technology’s power for good. All skill levels are welcome, from no-code to high-code solutions.

Month of Hacking

In April, we'll host a series of academic and fun activities to prepare participants for the main event, with at least 2 events each week, totaling 8+ events. Some will be co-hosted by fellow clubs and the rest are open for sponsors to host.
