#GRADimpact: Jyler Menard, master’s student in Computational Mathematics builds community by organizing UWaterloo’s first physics hackathon.

“There should be opportunities for you to grow in different ways and to explore different spaces to develop ideas. Taking risks and getting involved is how we learn who we are.”

Jyler, a master’s student in Computational Mathematics, is always keen on improving student support in his community. After participating in a physics-themed hackathon in Montreal on a previous co-op term, he sought to bring something similar to #UWaterloo. Working with other Waterloo students, Jyler helped to organize Schrodinger’s Hack, Waterloo’s first physics hackathon.
