CodeJam is the largest annual hackathon run by the McGill Electrical, Computer, and Software Engineering Student’ Society (usually in our very own Trottier Engineering Building).

CodeJam enables students to test their practical skills in a supportive, engaging, and, most of all, fun environment. Over the course of 36 hours, students will be challenged to brainstorm innovative ideas, to solve difficult problems, and to create an awesome prototype. All the while, students are supported by experienced mentors from companies such as your own. Our goal? To help give students the confidence and skills they need to own their professional growth, and to provide them with the industry connections necessary to accelerate that same growth.
