What is Project Program?

 

  • Project Program is a month-long hackathon style initiative to work on a project of their choice, with complete freedom alongside a team of their peers and gain mentorship experience and resources! This is a collaboration between Wilfrid Laurier University's Laurier Computing Society, Univeristy of Waterloo's Computer Science Club and Data Science Club. In contrast to a hackathon, participants won't be subject to any specified category or style of development. This Devpost has been created for you to display and catalogue your projects.

Requirements

  • Anything of your choice!

What to Submit

  • A link the GitHub project (if applicable), a short description, and some pictures. This will help you display your hackathon to judges and have something to be proud of for posterity. Bonus points for submitting a video!
