Capital Technology Network
Building Canada's capital technology community
We create spaces where students can learn by building, grow their professional networks, and explore technology in a collaborative, inclusive environment.
Capital Technology Network is a student-led not-for-profit creating opportunities for technology education, innovation, and professional development.
Our goal is to equip students with practical skills, encourage creativity, and promote diversity across the technology sector.

Hack the Hill offered a weekend of fun and innovation! As an industry partner, we loved the opportunity to interact with students who are hands-on, proactive problem-solvers and adaptable teammates -- all of which are skills honed during the hackathon. Great introduction to the top talent of tomorrow!
