FAQ

Hacking? Isnt that illegal?

Nope! Hacking was first used at MIT to describe an interaction with a computer. Just like those internet pioneers, we will "hack" to create innovative apps, games, and websites!

How Much Does It Cost?

Absolutely nothing! We believe that all high schoolers should be able to pursue computer science for free.

What Should I Bring?

Anything you need to hack! Anything from a laptop to a RaspberryPi is accepted. However, we dont recommend bringing external monitors, as we are not sure how many available outlets we will have.

What If I Can't Eat ___?

All dietary restrictions will be met. As of now, we do not have a detailed menu as yet, as we are still collecting sponsors. We will send out a form to collect dietary restrictions soon.

Who Can Participate?

Any current students in high school or middle school. If you are over that age, shoot us an email & we'll see what we can do.

What If I Dont Know How To Code?

No worries! We welcome all skill levels, and there will be plenty of resources available to help you learn.
