From Carleton Physics Alum Alice Curtin ’19:
Hi all,
Hope this email finds you well!
I am reaching out helping because I am helping to organize the McGill Physics Hackathon. This is a friendly hackathon where participants can build projects related to physics. Due to COVID-19, the hackathon will be held completely online this year from November 7th-8th, 2020. Normally, ~200 people participate in person but I assume it will be higher this year because it is not all remote and we are reaching universities outside of Montreal.
I am sending along some of the information on the Hackathon.
The website with more information about the Hackathon is here, and interested students can register here. There is a $5 registration fee (mainly to assure people who sign up will actually attend but if people can’t pay there is possibility for it be waived).
On a more personal note, I am up at McGill in Canada doing my MsC in physics (and will start my PhD next year!). The program is really nice — not quite as connected of a community as at Carleton but very close! Everything is remote now although Montreal is slowly reopening. How are things in MN?
Best, Alice
