​XdHacks Mini Vancouver is a nonprofit hackathon organization that is dedicated to teaching students the importance of interdisciplinary learning in the modern technology industry. Going into our 5th iteration of XdHacks Mini Vancouver this year, I would like to extend an invitation to your school and provide the opportunity to become an Ambassador for our event coming this summer! For more information on us: https://mini.xdhacks.com/about 

What does an Ambassador do? The ambassadors are going to be preparing for the hackathon throughout April to June by advertising the event and helping with other tasks such as setting up the hackathon, and having a voice in how the hackathon will turn out. On the days of the event, June 29 - 30, ambassadors are going to be able to monitor and manage the event
itself by participating in activities, workshops, and interacting with
attendees. ​

Some of the benefits students can gain are: 

  • Volunteer hours, experience, and skills in managing social media platforms.
  • Experiences with STEM and other organizations.
  • Networking with other schools and students in the lower mainland.

    For more information, you can find the all the details here: http://bit.ly/XdHacks-Ambassadors ​
