What is Ignition Hacks?

Ignition Hacks is a student-led hackathon dedicated to empowering the next generation of innovators, problem solvers, coders, and entrepreneurs to pursue their passion for global change.

This year, we are creating more than just a hackathon, we want to use our platform to build an organization aimed at supporting tech education and opportunities for students to help them prepare for a growing technology industry.

Last year, we supported 600+ participants internationally within a hackathon environment offering activities such as 15+ workshops on the varying industries in tech, 1-1 mentorship opportunities, co-op fairs, and more, all while creating their products and fostering a supportive hub to help them prepare for the careers of the future.

In 2023 we had:
  • workshops
    8 workshops and panels
  • hackers
    500+ hackers
  • projects
    75+ projects submitted
  • panelists
    13 panelists
