Hello!

I hope you’re all hyped for LexHack! The event will be this Saturday (11/3) at Lexington High School. Check-in will be from 9 - 10 AM and Opening Ceremonies will begin promptly at 10 AM. When you arrive at LHS, please enter through the Commons II doors from the back parking lot (signs will be posted outside), as SAT testing will also be happening at LHS that morning.

When you go to check in, please be sure to have the photo release form (attached) signed and ready to hand in. If you are under 18, a parent/guardian must also sign this form, so please print it out and have them sign it before the event.

Lunch, and dinner will be provided (bagels will be available on check-in). If you have allergies/dietary restrictions, you may want to bring your own food -- please let us know if you have any questions about this. Closing ceremonies will likely conclude around 9:30 pm.

Throughout the day we will also have a variety of events planned for you to join in as a break from hacking. They range from ping pong to our own scavenger hunt!

See you all there!
