YouthHacks 2022 is a hackathon hosted by YHY BC from March 18th - 20th, 2022 that will bring together youth for a weekend full of learning! We will host a variety of events to help you develop your knowledge in STEAM and various workshops by respected speakers to give you some real life insights into the world of STEAM! Decided by our judges, prizes will be given to the top 3 projects on the final day. Best of all, attending YouthHacks 2022 is completely free for all attendees! Beginners are welcome and encouraged to join!

Attendees will network with diverse like-minded youth across the world, learn about coding and programming, and be inspired to explore on their own. Our goal is to make YouthHacks an annual event where we can connect students to the possibilities of technology, while providing students with networking opportunities and resources to explore STEAM. We strive to present Youth with opportunities within the STEAM field that they otherwise would not receive due to the lack of accessibility in schools.

  2. Submit a 1-2 minute video demonstrating and explaining your project.
