Innovation, creativity, and collaboration are set to take center stage this weekend at the Kamloops 2025 Hackathon. From September 19–21, 2025, students, entrepreneurs, and tech enthusiasts will gather at OLARA Bldg. to bring ideas to life, tackle real-world challenges, and showcase their problem-solving skills.

Hackathons aren’t just about coding. They’re about teamwork, strategy, and building practical solutions under time constraints. For participants, it’s an opportunity to sharpen technical abilities, gain valuable hands-on experience, and expand professional networks. Many past participants have found new mentors, partners, and even career opportunities through these events.

A Special Thanks to Our Sponsors

This event would not be possible without the support of our sponsors. A heartfelt thank you to our Gold Sponsors, BCLC (British Columbia Lottery Corporation) and CIBA (Central Interior Business Accelerator) , for investing in innovation and empowering the next generation of problem-solvers. Their commitment to community growth and forward-thinking initiatives has helped make the Kamloops 2025 Hackathon a reality.

 

Why Hackathons Matter

For businesses, hackathons provide a front-row seat to fresh ideas, emerging talent, and cutting-edge solutions. For individuals, they are a launchpad to try new technologies, think outside the box, and develop projects that can have a lasting impact.

Here are some key reasons why hackathons matter:

• Hands-on Learning: Participants gain practical experience by applying skills to real-world challenges.

• Networking Opportunities: Hackathons connect students, entrepreneurs, and professionals with mentors, sponsors, and future collaborators.

• Innovation at Speed: With limited time, teams are pushed to think creatively and rapidly prototype solutions.

• Career Growth: Participants often discover career paths, internships, or partnerships through these events.

• Community Building: Hackathons strengthen local ecosystems by bringing together people who care about solving problems and making an impact.
