CipherHacks is San Diego’s premier student-run cybersecurity hackathon, created by and for high school students. We provide a welcoming, beginner-friendly environment where teens can explore ethical hacking, programming, and digital innovation. Whether it’s their first time coding or their tenth project, students work in teams to build creative solutions, attend hands-on workshops, and connect with mentors and peers who share a passion for tech. CipherHacks operates under the fiscal sponsorship of Hack Club, a 501(c)(3) public charity that supports student-run STEM programs.
