Wabi Sabi Thon was a one day hackathon I ran with some friends to bring together creatives from the University of Waterloo to work on art and design based challenges.

We came up with an idea and ran with it...

My friend Aileen and I realized the Waterloo student community lacked a connection to the creative arts. Being a tech and STEM focused university, we didn’t have many events for those interested in art.

Together we recrutied an amazing team and we created wabi-sabi-thon. A silly half-ish day hackathon to get peoples creative juices flowing by giving them unique challenges. We had over 100+ people attend and came out with 25+ incredible creative projects.

We hosted so many unique
challenges at the hackathon
