Hack the North 2021: Tapping into tech and gaining valuable skills along the way

Most students develop an interest in technology and programming long before they begin their post-secondary education.

The path to becoming a developer, analyst or software engineer does not usually start in a computer science course at university, but in the opportunities available to students outside the classroom. One such opportunity is Hack the North — the annual hackathon sponsored by the Faculties of Mathematics and Engineering — taking place this weekend from Friday, September 17 to Sunday, September 19.

Tuesday, September 28, 2021 3:00 pm - 3:00 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

PhD Seminar • Natural Phenomena Simulation • An Assessment of Light Penetration into Snow with Implications Leading to the Prediction of Avalanche Conditions

Please note: This PhD seminar will be given online.
