Frequently Asked Questions
How many people can be in a team?
+
Each team can have between 1 and 4 members. If you don’t have a team but want to be a part of one, you can still sign up alone, and we’ll make accommodations before the event to help you find a group to work with.
Who is eligible to participate?
+
Anyone attending any Canadian post-secondary institution can attend, as well as recent grads (Winter 2024)!
How much does it cost to attend?
+
CodeJam 14 will have a $20 admission fee. Please note that applying to the event is free, and you will not be charged until you are accepted. Your $20 includes stickers, food for a whole weekend, and a CodeJam t-shirt!
Can I iterate on a past project as my submission?
+
No. Participants should be creating something from scratch once the hacking begins so we can have an even playing field for everyone!
Is it too late to apply?
+
Applications closed on October 25th. We post about other upcoming hackathons and events on our Instagram though, so follow us there for more opportunities!
Is CodeJam beginner friendly?
+
Yup! In fact, we will be hosting a beginner to coding workshop to learn web development, and will have a separate prize category for beginners!
