Hack The Ridge 2025

About the Venue Originally called HackIR, our club was founded in 2018 by senior students at Iroquois Ridge High School in hopes of promoting STEM in Oakville. It is a 12-hour event that hosts numerous workshops, from machine learning to web development for new and experienced programmers. Students will form teams and collaborate as they design and build a software/hardware project to solve a real-world problem. This year, the event will be held on December 6, 2025, with more prizes and interesting workshops than ever!   Our vision is to spark interest for youth in STEM, as well as to connect the community by creating a welcoming space for hackers from different backgrounds.   How to Get Here Address: 1123 Glenashton Drive, Oakville Map: Iroquois Ridge High School Floor Plan: IRHS Floor Plan.jpg Public Transit: Transit Lines 20, 56, and 80, pass through streets next to IRHS Parking: There is a drop-off in front of the school.
