Register today for the Mayor’s Youth Council High School Hackathon

The Mayor’s Youth Council presents:

Calgary’s First High School Hackathon!

A two day event where teams of high school students from across Calgary work together and collaborate, using the City of Calgary open data catalogue to create technology based solutions (which could be an app, a website, a digital product) to make City of Calgary amenities (such as pools, leisure centres, parks) more accessible and inviting for youth.

**No coding experience is required–as long as students are able to come up with a plan and a good idea, they can win! If they do create something tangible, they will get bonus points.

Date: April 9 & 10

Location: Calgary Municipal Building (800 Macleod Trail SE)

Capacity: Space is limited to 75 participants.

Prizes: $750 grand prize. More than $1000 in cash and other prizes!

Forming Teams: Teams must be between three and five people. You can register for the event as a team or you can register as an individual and you will be placed with a team.

Tickets are $30 per person.
