XHacks marks a decade of innovation for the Software Systems Student Society's annual hackathon, SystemHacks. To mark this milestone, we are expanding into a 24-hour, beginner-friendly hackathon at SFU's Surrey Campus. 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 2026, it’s XHacks!
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!
If you can dream it, you can do it - or in this case, build it at DreamHacks! This year is centered around building anything your heart may desire. Whether its a project that you have been wanting to create for the longest time, or a project that will help you actually achieve your dreams—the possibilities are endless!
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.
