Hack Academy
The future of challenge-based learning!
Welcome to the Hack Academy
Our Hack programs have been specifically designed for the participants to collaborate in teams, and under the supervision of Subject Matter Experts, dive into challenges and develop a unique strategy or a solution.
Hacks are also great for increasing professional creativity and self-expression by using the most innovative and technological solutions.
When great hacking minds work together, it’s almost like miracles happening. The goal of every Fast Lane Hack is to push the limits of technology, with the ultimate goal to provide our Hackers with a whole new skill set and confidence.
The Benefits of Hacking
- New Connections: Meet fellow enthusiasts that have the same interests, it's the best way to learn and even more so alongside our subject matter experts/coaches who pass on their knowledge and expertise. We provide you with the opportunity for developers and programmers to join their knowledge and accomplish outstanding achievements within their area of interest. It’s also the best way to get into networking and make new, useful connections.
- Collaboration: Working alongside like-minded people to deepen your knowledge to achieve a goal that surpasses the individual concept of sharing knowledge and accomplishing great achievements. It also highlights the importance of having good communication skills and how teamwork can help you to achieve great things.
- Innovation: Since one of the main goals of hackathons is developing new ideas, it’s safe to say that every hackathon is a place where innovation is born. It’s the most efficient environment for problem-solving and the most suitable place for developing new ideas. On top of everything, Hacks are usually where ideas for entirely new products come to life.

Boosting inspiration, innovation, creativity, and productivity
I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and everyone working as one unit. It really made the experience enjoyable while learning at the same time. The coach was very helpful and polite when our group was possibly steering in the wrong direction to bring us back on track.

The immersion and minimal distractions, and way that we had to work far closer together to solve the problems. We worked as a unit on a specific problem, and stuck with it as a team until it was done - in our particular case I think this really helped those more room to up-skill to learn more.

This is still a very collaborative approach, even though it is virtual. Having a mix of people meant that where one person had expertise they were able to lead the group, along with splitting up over tasks.
