CalgaryHacks is a sprint-style contest designed to promote creativity, collaboration, and innovative thinking.

Since 2017, the University of Calgary's Computer Science Undergraduate Society (CSUS) has challenged students to develop innovative solutions to a wide variety of problems in a 24-hour sprint programming competition. Groups of up to 5 students will test their programming skills and network with our panel of judges.

CalgaryHacks 2025 will be on February 15-16, the first weekend of Reading Break for the University of Calgary. We invite all post-secondary and highschool students studying in Canada to compete.
