HackTrent

Hacker Applications closes October 25th @ 11:59PM | In-Person Event @ TrentU HackTrent is the premier hackathon event hosted by Trent University. Join us for an exciting weekend of innovation, collaboration, and creativity. HackTrent offers an inclusive and inspiring environment to bring your ideas to life. Register now and be a part of the HackTrent experience! A hackathon is best described as an "invention marathon". Anyone who has an intrest in technology or coding attends a Hackathon to learn , build and share their creations over the course of a weekend in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. You don't have to be a programmer and you certainly don't have to be majoring in Computer Science. Unfortunately, HackTrent isn't able to provide hackers with travel reimbursements. We have in certain cases provided it in the past but we're always on the hunt to find more sustainble ways to bring more students to Hackathons. Yes. Anyone who has graduated within the last 12 months is still eligible to attend an HackTrent. After that, there's plenty of non-student Hackathons that exist for you to consider attending. Not a problem! The entire Major League Hacking team knew very little when they each attended their very first hackathon. It's entirely irrelevant what your experience is going into a hackathon, it's more about your interest in technology. Every HackTrent Member Event is passionate about making their hackathons very welcoming and beginner-friendly.If you're wanting to learn how to code outside of a hackathon, there's a fantastic blog post that you should read. After, you should check out the following: Treehouse, Codecademy and the Major League Hacking blog to get started. Student's of any education level from anywhere in the world are eligible to apply for HackTrent! All attendees must be atleast 18 years or older in order to participate in the event. Admission to HackTrent is completely free! We will also provide food and accommodation for the entire event, as well as the mentorship our hackers need to build something incredible. HackTrent welcomes students of all skills. Many students attend HackTrent as their first Hackathon, and they always have a blast! We'll provide mentors and workshops to help you with your project; Hackathons can be great place to leatn new skills in a short amount of time. Just be eager to learn, and excited to meet lots… HackTrent is a Major League Hacking (MLH) 2027 season hackathon.
