We're looking for companies and organizations that believe young people should have the opportunity to build, experiment, learn, and create.
This fall, we're running CodeYQR's flagship hackathon in Regina — a beginner-friendly event for high schoolers where programmers, artists, and engineers spend a day together building fun coding projects, individually or in teams.
CodeYQR is a student-led initiative working to create more opportunities for young people to explore technology, develop practical skills, and showcase what they can build.
Our primary audience is students in Grades 8–12 in Regina and the surrounding area — many of them picking up a hackathon, or coding in general, for the first time.
Before CodeYQR, our team organized Campfire Regina, the first Hack Club hackathon held in Saskatchewan. It was a small event, but it gave our team real experience organizing a technology event end-to-end.
We're not simply looking for funding for an event — we're looking for partners who believe young people should have the opportunity to build the future, and who want to help make that opportunity available in Regina.
