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!
