Foire aux questions
General
How much does it cost?
This event is absolutely free! There are no fees of any sort to worry about.
What do I need to participate at home?
To participate, all you will need is access to a computer that can connect to the Internet.
Who can attend?
All Peel students from Grade 7 to 12 can participate. Although technical experience can be applied during the event, all students with non-technical backgrounds and interests, like science or the arts, are welcome as well.
What if I don't have an idea?
That’s completely normal! As you collaborate with your team and brainstorm together, you will start to come up with ideas. Not to mention, mentors will also be available to guide you along the way. When working with your team, all members will be able to contribute and reflect on ideas as a group.
What if I don't know how to code?
WolfHacks is beginner-friendly and requires no technical experience, so students of all skill sets and backgrounds are welcome. Just come with an open mind and a will to learn. There are awards and prizes that designs with absolutely NO coding can win. To help you grow, there will also be fun workshops and experienced mentors than can guide you if you're new to hackathons and coding.
What if I don’t want to present my hack?
You might think your project is incomplete, or unimpressive. However, you should present it anyway! Hackathons aren't about being the best or being competitive. It’s all about having fun, making friends and learning how to become better at the things you care about. Presenting your hack gives you a chance to showcase what you’ve accomplished, so be proud and own it!
