Hackers Testimonials

"QHacks 2021 gave me the opportunity to showcase my problem-solving and creativity in a team setting while working on the Parallel Fourier Computing project. The hackathon is also filled with great networking and knowledge building sessions which make this 36-hour event a deeply enriching and valuable experience."

Benjamin Beggs, Parallel Fourier Computing, 2021

"QHacks was an awesome opportunity to grow my skills as a budding developer. There's nothing like staying up late on the grind to create an amazing project. Even though it was nerve-wracking to present to the judges, we put our best foot forward and it paid off!"

Ethan F, Resume Writer - Mayor's Innovation Challenge Winners, 2022

"QHacks continues to be an amazing event filled [with] tons of opportunities to network and learn. One of the best hack-a-thons I've attended, it's definitely one of the most fulfilling experiences!"
