what_is_masseyhacks() MasseyHacks is a high school hackathon — an event perfect for students fascinated by the world of technology. This 24-hour event is an opportunity for students to explore the realm of computer science and bring their creative ideas to life by developing a project of their own. Never written a line of code in your life? Already created a robot to do your homework? No matter your skill level, we invite you to join us as a hacker to participate in workshops, engage in countless activities, and meet other like-minded students! Create memories and guide the story of your STEM journey at MasseyHacks X!

Nope, MasseyHacks is absolutely free to attend!

MasseyHacks X will be in-person. Hackers will not have the option to participate fully virtually as we return to a more traditional form of MasseyHacks. Unfortunately, we cannot provide overnight accommodation at the MasseyHacks venue, so hackers will be required to go home for the night and return in the morning.

Yes, meals and snacks will be provided free of cost. We will accommodate any food sensitivities to the best of our ability.

We will have masks available and provided upon request. Any individuals who are sick or experiencing symptoms will be moved to an isolation room and asked to go home. This information may be updated in the future to further reflect local, provincial, and federal guidelines.

You don't need to be in a team to participate in MasseyHacks! It's up to you whether you choose to fly solo or group up with your friends. And who knows: you might meet some cool new people too!

All hackers must abide by the Code of Conduct.

MasseyHacks welcomes students from grades 7-12.

Not at all! At MasseyHacks, we'll teach you the fundamentals you need to know to make your project through beginner workshops and mentors who will assist you if you ever need any help.

You can have as many as 4 people per team!

MasseyHacks will be held at Vincent Massey Secondary School at 1800 Liberty St, Windsor, ON.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide overnight accommodation at the MasseyHacks venue, so hackers will be required to leave the venue Saturday evening and return to the venue Sunday morning. However, we will still be providing mentorship and support for hackers throughout the night as they continue working on their projects.

We recommend bringing the following:
  • a piece of photo ID for check-in (e.g. student card, passport, or drivers license)
  • your laptop
  • laptop/phone chargers

Food, beverages, and the rest will all be provided! School computers will be available for use during the event, but we cannot guarantee one for everyone.

A variety of fun activities like cup-stacking, karaoke, and therapy dogs and a diverse selection of computer science workshops will be available throughout the event. These will be featured on the schedule which will be posted closer to the event date!
