PsychHacks, a 24-hour hackathon for graduate and undergraduate students interested in improving and practicing their technical skills. This hackathon will also help to proliferate current research taking place at UofT while providing an arena to encourage more participation to those interested in getting involved. Ultimately, PsychHacks aims to create a space that allows people from multidisciplinary fields to come together and engage in research-oriented, innovative, and collaborative thinking.
PsychHacks 2019 is partnering with the University of Toronto Social Science Methods Week, a series of free methodological workshops running from April 29-May 3 that are open to all University of Toronto graduate students and faculty. Of special note are two workshops that teach the fundamentals of the Python and R programming languages. You can see the full schedule and register for workshops here.
We have a ton of great events planned for you all! Participants are recommended to get dinner before the event, as the first dinner will not be provided.
