FraserHacks 2019 is a high school hackathon located in Mississauga, Ontario. Partnered with John Fraser Secondary School, our hackathon is open to students in the GTA.

Hackers will create projects that solve problems they've identified in society, and will be judged how they solve these issues (see criteria below)

 

If your school has already confirmed its participation in FraserHacks (i.e. a teacher supervisor from the school will accompany you) please disregard the following:

All students in the GTA are welcomed at the hackathon; however, each team is required to have a teacher supervisor. Please ask your school's teachers to help supervise the event. More information can be found on our website.
