Introduction

Welcome to AdaHacks 2027, the second edition of Ada's Team's 48-hour, in-person student-led hackathon at the University of Alberta!

Building on AdaHacks 2026, which welcomed over 75 attendees, AdaHacks 2027 brings together postsecondary students to explore technology, collaborate on innovative ideas, and develop practical solutions.

Whether you're interested in software development or UI/UX design, AdaHacks provides an opportunity to learn new skills, connect with fellow students, and bring your ideas to life.

Tools and Technologies

Participants can explore a variety of tools and technologies depending on their chosen stream.

Software Development: Participants can use programming languages, frameworks, libraries, and development tools of their choice to build their projects.

UI/UX Design: Participants can use design, wireframing, and prototyping tools of their choice to create digital experiences and interactive prototypes.

Inspiration

Not sure what to build? Start by identifying a problem you've experienced, something that could be improved, or an idea you've always wanted to explore.

Your project could focus on improving everyday experiences, making technology more accessible, simplifying a process, or developing a creative digital solution.

Whether you're building software or designing a user experience, we encourage you to think creatively, explore different approaches, and develop something meaningful.

The goal is to learn, collaborate, innovate, and turn your ideas into something real.
