# Celebrating students’ savvy at Hackathon

The ingenuity of our students was on full display March 16 at the finals of this year’s [Hackathon](https://www.senecahackathon.com/).

Hosted by Seneca, Hackathon brings together students from postsecondary institutions in Toronto and beyond each year to brainstorm actionable solutions to a selected real-world challenge.

Participating students receive mentoring from subject-specific specialists and see their work evaluated by a panel of experts.

This year’s Hackathon was organized around the theme of housing, which was broken down further into the categories of affordable housing solutions, community well-being, housing tech and student housing.

Congratulations to the winning teams, everyone who participated and all the volunteers who worked hard to make this year’s Hackathon a success!
