A Strong First Event
Our first hackathon brought students together through creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork, proving how powerful student innovation can be at Lynn-Rose College.
Welcome to the Lynn-Rose College Hackathon — a high-energy 6-hour creative coding experience where bold ideas, dreamlike design, and powerful technology come together. Build something unforgettable, solve real problems through imagination, and escape the ordinary on the Lynn-Rose College campus.
Last year, Lynn-Rose College hosted its very first hackathon — and it was an incredible success. Students came together to create, collaborate, and bring bold ideas to life in an exciting atmosphere filled with energy, teamwork, and innovation. Throughout the event, students built projects using languages such as C++, Python, Java, Luau, HTML, and CSS. It set the foundation for what Escapism is becoming today, and this year we are building on that momentum with an even bigger and better experience.
Our first hackathon brought students together through creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork, proving how powerful student innovation can be at Lynn-Rose College.
Students explored exciting project ideas, built solutions, shared their work, and showed real passion for coding, design, and innovation throughout the event using languages like C++, Python, Java, Luau, HTML, and CSS.
The success of last year’s event helped inspire this year’s hackathon and gave us the confidence to create an even more ambitious experience for our school community.
Last year’s hackathon showed what our students are capable of. This year, Escapism continues that journey with more creativity, more energy, and even bigger ideas.
Outstanding projects will be recognized for their creativity, technical execution, originality, and presentation during the Escapism competition.
