Fanshawe Hacks Code of Conduct

Nov 11, 2026

Last updated: November 11, 2026

Fanshawe Hacks is a student hackathon presented by Fanshawe AI Club. The build period runs from November 20, 2026 at 11:59 am to December 3, 2026 at 11:59 pm, in a booked room at Fanshawe College. Pitch day is December 4, 2026 at 10:00 am in Canada Life Village Square at Fanshawe College.

Fanshawe Hacks should be welcoming and safe for everyone. By registering, you agree to follow this code on the Fanshawe AI Club Discord server (Discord), in the event room, at pitch day, and anywhere you post about Fanshawe Hacks online. It applies to everyone, including participants, mentors, judges, sponsors, volunteers and coordinators.

Expected behaviour

  • Treat everyone with respect, whatever their skill level or background.

  • Help newcomers. Many people here are at their first hackathon.

  • Respect people's space, time, belongings and "no".

  • Follow Fanshawe College rules and venue staff instructions.

  • Submit your own team's work, made during the build period, and credit any code or tools you reuse.

Not allowed

  • Harassment, bullying or intimidation, in person or online.

  • Discrimination or slurs based on any ground in the Ontario Human Rights Code, including race, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, religion, age or ethnic origin.

  • Unwanted touching, sexual comments or sexual images.

  • Photographing or recording someone who has asked you not to.

  • Following or repeatedly messaging someone who wants to be left alone, including in Discord DMs.

  • Spam, or sharing harmful or illegal content on the Discord server.

  • Cheating, or presenting someone else's work as your own.

  • Being drunk or high at the event.

How to report

If something happens to you, or you see it happen, tell an event coordinator in person or open a ticket on the Fanshawe AI Club Discord server. If anyone is in danger, call 911 first. On campus, you can also contact Fanshawe Campus Security.

We keep reports as private as we can and share them only with the coordinators who need to act on them. If a report is about a coordinator, that coordinator will not take part in handling it. You will not be punished for making a report in good faith.

What we may do

Depending on what happened, coordinators may:

  • Give a warning.

  • Remove someone from a team, a channel, the Discord server or the event.

  • Disqualify a project.

  • Report the matter to Fanshawe College or the police.

Coordinators decide based on the situation.
