Unleash Your Inner Innovator at STEM Hacks 2023
Join us in an immersive hackathon-style environment where you can showcase your STEM skills while conquering exciting challenges! Registrations will open in October, 2023
The Ultimate Hackathon for Ontario's Youth
STEM Hacks is a yearly competition organized by Mathstronauts, where groups of 4 to 5 participants come together to tackle an exciting hands-on design and development challenge focused on STEM.
With guidance from mentors from universities or industries, student teams develop solutions to a given problem and present them to a panel of judges. They are evaluated based on the teams’ knowledge, technical skills, and creativity in design. At the final ceremony, the top projects are showcased, and prizes are awarded to the most outstanding designs.
