SFU Software Systems Student Society presents their 9th annual hackathon!
Applications close Feb 25
DreamHacks is this year’s iteration of the Software Systems Student Society's annual hackathon, SystemsHacks. It is a 12-hour, beginner-oriented hackathon that takes place at SFU’s Surrey campus and has been organized annually since 2017. We aim to create a welcoming environment for new hackers to make new connections and learn something new. Each year, SystemsHacks takes on a new theme, and for 2025 it’s DreamHacks!
The Software Systems Student Society (SSSS) is the student union that represents the interests of the Software Systems student body at SFU. We organize events to encourage making valuable peer connections and complement the academic experience, such as SystemsHacks right here!
Our theme, ChaosHacks, highlights the chaos in everyday life—whether it’s a cluttered desktop or an unpredictable bus schedule. We challenge you to eliminate, control, or embrace it in your own way, leading to unique and creative projects.
The name “RootHacks” reflects a broadly plant-based theme, and we hope to inspire participants to consider how their personal roots can offer them a unique perspective when building their project.
