About this event

Welcome to Sheridan Datathon 2026 🌐

Sheridan Datathon is Mississauga's largest data-focused hackathon. It's a 24-hour student-led event where 250+ students from across the GTA come together at Sheridan's HMC Campus to turn real sponsor datasets into insights, models, and stories.

What makes us different

It's basically a hackathon, but the challenge is centered around data instead of just building something. Teams get actual datasets from industry sponsors and work to find the most interesting insight or story hidden inside. You're being judged more on what you discovered than what you built, which means the final submission could be a research draft, an interactive dashboard, a working prototype, or a new solution to a problem, not just a web app.

Whether you're a data scientist, ML engineer, business analyst, designer, or first-time competitor, you'll find a place at this event to contribute meaningfully.
