About

What is Fall Hacks?

This is the 6th iteration of Fall Hacks, an annual hackathon hosted by the SFU Computing Science Student Society. This 13-hour event brings together over 200 students to build creative projects, learn from workshops, and connect with companies! It will be hosted at SFU Burnaby Campus on September 27, from 8AM to 9PM.

Why participate in Fall Hacks? We emphasize learning and creativity over commercial feasibility. This is an opportunity to spend a weekend tinkering with your favourite technologies to create something fun and interesting. Fall Hacks is the perfect event for everyone from fresh first years to seasoned CS veterans.

Frequently Asked Questions...

Wait, what actually is a hackathon?

A hackathon is an event where teams work on a project inspired by an event-provided theme. You will have 12 hours to develop something cool at Fall Hacks. Your team will start from scratch and try to make the coolest thing they can before the time is up.

Where is Fall Hacks?

This year will be in-person. Registration will be at the ASB entrance. Most of the day-of activities, like workshops, will be held in TASC or ASB. You are free to hack at other open locations on campus.

Why should I participate?

You get experience with new technologies and navigate teamwork dynamics to accomplish a goal. Hackathon projects are also a great addition to a resume! There are also prizes and free food.

I am in my first year/don't have much experience, should I still participate?

Yes! This hackathon is a great learning opportunity for people with less development experience. We'll also be hosting HACKATHON 101 workshops the week leading up to Fall Hacks to prepare you for the event.

Can I work on my previous projects?

No, we want you to create awesome things from scratch in 13 hours. Starting from an existing project is against the spirit of the event. Existing open-source libraries and frameworks are fine, of course. Ask an organizer if you are unsure.
