Join the Google Developer Group on campus at the University of Guelph for a weekend dedicated to creating innovative projects.

During GDG Hacks 3, our goal is to introduce people to the exciting world of programming and AI. We aim to assist students in further developing their coding capabilities while converting their ideas into an innovative and revolutionary project that will ultimately make a positive impact within the world!

NOTE: Registering on Devpost does not give you access to the event, you must be admitted to GDG Hacks 3 through our application process in order to attend.
