Space-themed hackathon

Donation protected
We are Students for the Exploration and Development of Space Canada (SEDS-Canada) — a non-profit organization run for students, by students. 

Our mission is to strengthen Canada’s future in space by offering post-secondary opportunities to develop technical and soft skills necessary for tomorrow's challenges in the space industry. We've run programs that have inspired and taught students more than any classroom ever could: the CAN-RGX and CAN-SBX challenges give complete autonomy to undergraduate and graduate students to fully design, build and test a science experiment, all while working alongside highly skilled professionals from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and the National Research Council of Canada (NRC). Students can choose to do research in microgravity by parabolic flight or in the stratosphere on board a stratospheric balloon.

Those flagship programs have been and will continue to be successful. Now, we have our eyes set on helping students in Canada develop an entrepreneurial spirit and to find creative solutions by building a product or a service, all in the name of showing the world that Canada is still a leader in space innovation (#dontletgocanada).

To achieve this goal, SEDS-Canada is hosting the NASA Space Apps Challenge in Toronto, to be held October 19-21 2018 at the Ryerson DMZ  (we thank the DMZ for generously donating their space for the weekend!). We want Toronto teams to be represented in NASA's Global Nominee list, and to do so, we want to support the teams as much as possible throughout the hackathon weekend. 

Your donation to our campaign will go entirely towards supporting the hackathon teams on October 19-21 by:

- supplying coffee
- providing meals
- inviting subject matter experts for technical support
- printing custom name badges
- providing certificates of participation, and
- providing prizes

We would really appreciate your support! Please donate now as the hackathon is fast approaching! 

Thank you so much!
