HackXplore 2020

TechXplore is a UofT club and we're motivated to teach programming and advanced computer skills to our UofT peers, especially those in non-engineering majors. We want to empower our fellow UofT students (from all faculties and colleges) that have various levels of programming experience though our workshops, tech talks and mentorship events to be more job ready and marketable.
