OceanHackWeek 2026 (OHW26)#

OceanHackWeek 2026 (OHW26) will be held on August 24-28, 2026 at the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre on the West Coast of beautiful Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.

Applications will open by May 15!

We’re planning to open applications by Friday May 15. Stay tuned and check back then!

Due to current funding limitations for OHW, this year we may not be able to provide free-of-charge lodging and meals to participants. We’re doing everything we can to keep costs low and provide opportunities for additional support to participants with the greatest need.

The OceanHackWeek program consists of hands-on tutorials, visual presentations, and collaborative hack projects throughout a 5-day period.
