CUTC: Transform Hackathon

Most hackathons give you 36 hours.

Transform gives you a week.

Hosted by the Canadian Undergraduate Technology Conference (CUTC), Transform is a week-long virtual hackathon bringing together 1,000+ students, creators, designers, developers, founders, and builders from around the world to create ambitious projects, learn from industry leaders, and become part of one of Canada's fastest-growing student builder communities.

Since 1999, CUTC has connected thousands of students through conferences, hackathons, workshops, and networking events. Transform continues that tradition by creating an environment where students collaborate, meet future teammates, and build lasting relationships.

Whether you're building your first side project or your next startup, you'll spend the week surrounded by people who love creating just as much as you do.

Great ideas deserve more than a weekend.

Transform gives you the time to explore ambitious ideas, iterate on feedback, and build something you'll still be proud of long after the hackathon ends.

Throughout the week you'll have access to:

• 🎤 Industry workshops
• 🤝 Team matching
• 💬 Mentor office hours
• 🔥 Live project roast sessions
• 🎮 Community game nights
• 📱 Creator challenges
• 🏆 Sponsor challenges
• ✨ Networking opportunities

...and plenty of time to actually build.
