LancerHacks VI is the sixth annual twelve-hour hackathon organized by SFHacks, the student-led programming club at Saint Francis High School. In partnership with the school, LancerHacks will take place in person on Saturday, February 11, 2023, and will host approximately 150 students from local high schools.
Each year we pick a carefully thought out theme. This year the theme for LancerHacks VI is “Upside Down.” We encourage attendees to think outside the box and reimagine the future by taking a disruptive leap instead of the same old thing. Feel free to interpret the prompt however you want -- get creative!
Supplementing the main project-development element of the hackathon through a variety of challenges and events, LancerHacks will continue to emphasize collaboration among attendees, mentorship by peers and industry experts, attendance at speaker sessions and workshops, and expanding the traditional understanding of computer science and its various daily-life applications.
