What does the fee include?
The fee includes: a breakfast/lunch/dinner and drinks! And of course the ability to participate in an inspiring and fun weekend working on improving healthcare!
Can I participate for one or two days?
You can only participate if you attend the whole weekend (Friday March 31-Sunday, April 2).
If you really can’t attend the full three days but still want to be part of Hacking Health St. John’s, become a volunteer by emailing katien@mun.ca! Or watch the presentations on Sunday.
Is my idea for a pitch any good?
Yes! As long as your idea is related to healthcare and a possible solution can be prototyped technically, digitally or visually.
Sparkboard is our online platform where you can present your idea/problem before the start of the weekend. Participants will be able to browse the different projects to see what interests them. A good way to get people enthusiastic about your idea!
