Philosothon: Where Philosophy Meets Hackathon Culture

An Experimental Event at the University of Toronto

While traditional hackathons gather programmers to build software in a limited timeframe, the Philosothon adapts this model for philosophical exploration. Small teams of students will work together to develop robust philosophical perspectives on contemporary technological issues—combining research, critical thinking, and argumentative rigor in a collaborative environment.

April 26-27, 2025
