FHS.hacks() is Franklin High School’s annual hackathon. A hackathon is an opportunity where students get together to develop creative solutions to real-world problems. During the hackathon, students will get access to mentors, workshops, other student coders, as well as “hacking” time to turn their ideas into reality. FHS.hacks() is open to all high school students from anywhere in the US with competitive and innovative spirits. Whether you’re a new coder or a seasoned hacker, come join the FHS WARRIORS for a weekend of learning, connection, and fun!

Eligibility

Requirements
