FormulaTech Hacks

Welcome to FormulaTech Hacks! 🏎️

FormulaTech Hacks is a two-day, in-person hackathon at the University of Waterloo bringing together students who love building, creating, and solving problems.

Over the weekend, you’ll work with a team to take an idea from concept to something you can actually show off. Projects can involve software, hardware, CAD, AI, data, or a combination of anything you’re interested in.

Along the way, you’ll have access to workshops, mentors, industry professionals, food, activities, and plenty of opportunities to meet other students. At the end of the weekend, teams will present their projects to judges and compete for prizes.

And despite the name, you don’t need to know anything about motorsport to participate. Whether this is your first hackathon or your tenth, FormulaTech Hacks is about trying something new, meeting people, and building something you’re proud of.
