About the Event

Royal Bay Hacks is the first hackathon in the Greater Victoria Area aimed at high school and middle school students. We hope to create an environment in which beginners at coding are able to explore while still allowing more experienced students to expand their base of knowledge and witness how their abilities can make a real social impact.
