An Introduction to HammerHacks

Fellow Hackers,

HammerHacks is Hamilton's largest high school hackathon that brings teens together from across the city to learn how to program and use technology to build, compete, and share their most creative ideas with other like-minded students. This spring, our focus is on sustainable solutions to local environmental issues! We invite YOU to join and work with a community of 100+ hackers to push your skills to the limit and create innovative and impactful solutions to local issues, all whilst enjoying a day full of skill-building workshops, fun activities and food!


Join us in adding glamour to the hammer!
