The Canadian Open Data Experience (CODE) is the first national Open Data hackathon in Canada. It is a 48-hour competition hosted by XMG, one of the largest indie mobile gaming studios in Canada, and supported by the Government of Canada.

CODE will take place from February 28th – March 2nd 2014. Canadian post-secondary students, entrepreneurs and innovators participate to develop applications utilizing federal government data from the Canadian Open Data Portal (www.data.gc.ca) with the goal of improving the lives of Canadians. The applications will need to conform to a theme that will be announced minutes before the appathon begins and then: ready, set, develop! 48 hours of hardcore coding!
