Privathon 2025: Saturday May 24th - Sunday May 25th, 2025
Privathon 2025 is an in-person Hackathon at VISST (Vancouver) that encourages high-school students from BC to try and develop prototypes that will help improve Digital Privacy. Within the span of 24 hours, teams will work together to develop digital ideas aimed towards helping confront online privacy challenges that societies encounter today.
In a world increasingly reliant on digital platforms, privacy is a personal and societal necessity. Online privacy protects individuals from issues such as data misuse and identity theft, ensuring that technologies handle data responsibly and ethically. Privathon dives into diverse aspects of privacy, such as developing tools for secure communication, raising awareness about data protection, enhancing transparency in data usage, and crafting solutions that empower users to take control of their digital footprints.
There will be workshops, keynote presentations, interactive activities, and mentors to assist your creation along every step of the way. Snacks and pizza lunches for both days will be provided.
