SpartaHacks III is the third instalment of Guelph’s first high-school hackathon. This Nov 17th, we are excited to open our doors to students across the Guelph-Wellington area for 12 hours of team building, workshopping and programming. The evening will culminate with the presentation of each team's completed project to a panel of judges, and a brief awards ceremony for the most outstanding solutions. No matter the skill level or experience, we aim to help students create innovative solutions and discover their passion for technology.
