The first annual BR Hacks was held this month at Bishop Reding Catholic Secondary School in Milton. It was an initiative that was put together by students in collaboration with the school’s administration.

Their aim was to host a one-day event that gave students the chance to experience the creative process involved in product development and showcase their technological abilities, while working towards something that helps either the school, local, or national community. The event also aimed to enhance and facilitate students’ business and computer science skills, as well as general communication and other “soft skills” that show increased importance in the workplace.
