Words From Our Previous Hackers

Greg Wang
Beat Party
Qhacks was a great experience that taught me a lot about how to stay productive whilst under a time limit. I had a fun time and was proud of the project our group created in just 48 hours.
Jordan Curnew
Parallel Fourier Computing
QHacks provided an exciting opportunity to put the skills I've learned in school to the test and network with industry professionals (which led to a job offer!). My team built an application for computing Fourier Transforms utilizing parallel processing on a distributed network – I never thought I’d be able to make something like that in 36 hours!
Amy Lu
Reeltube
In high school, I'd never opened a single computer science course brochure, and now I will be an incoming graduate student in machine learning. QHacks gave me a taster of what tech really was - a creative endeavour with technical tools as the paint brush, and societal-level solution pitching as the frame.
Cooper Leong
ESPECT
Events such as QHacks have allowed me to delve into topics without fear. I used to find it time consuming and intimidating to learn enough to feel confident about a topic, but now I can tackle it head on. It has been just under a year since my first hackathon, and I can say that it has changed my life for the best, and I look forward to participating in many more!
Benjamin Beggs
Parallel Fourier Computing
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.
Jacob Laframboise
No Spoiling!
QHacks was an exciting environment to learn and code in, and I really enjoyed the challenge. The sponsors were really cool and the event was a lot of fun!
