Overview

Hacking is building things that you always wanted to have but no one has built it yet. It's to come up with an amazing idea and work tirelessly on it. It is to fail, fail again and fail better. Try out new things and learn while doing that. It's to work together, collaborate and build things that are innovative. It is to be a better programmer.

SF Hacks is San Francisco State University’s first collegiate hackathon. Over 350 students from all over the United States will come together to learn, experiment, and create in 24 hours. SF Hacks is where your crazy ideas will finally become reality. It’s where you’re encouraged to do things that you’ve never done before: make an app, a website, or a game.
