We are the Burlingame High School Hack Club, also known as Panther Hacks! We’re a club and organization that’s fiscally sponsored by Hack Club, a 501c(3) nonprofit organization. Since our founding in 2025, we’ve worked to improve accessibility to computer science through teaching weekly guided programming/technology workshops and keeping tabs on local hackathons. Now, we’re taking the next step: hosting our very own!
