About the event...
What is Fall Hacks?
This is the 5th iteration of Fall Hacks, an annual hackathon hosted by the SFU Computing Science
Student Society. This 12-hour event brings together 200 students to build creative projects, learn
from workshops, and connect with companies, like yours! It will be hosted at SFU Burnaby Campus on
September 28, from 9AM to 9PM.
This year's theme: ANNOUNCED DURING OPENING CEREMONY
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 and online. We will be streaming the opening and closing ceremonies on
Discord, so if you can't make it in person, join online! Most of the day-of activities, like
registration, will be held in TASC 9204 on SFU's Burnaby Campus. 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!
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.
How do we declare teams?
You do not need to know your team when you register. You can form groups before or during the
hackathon. When you give us your submission GitHub link you will declare your group members.
Can I work on my previous projects?
No, we want you to create awesome things from scratch in 12 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.
