Hack Club

Next week, we are hosting an online AMA (ask-me-anything) session with Jared Isaacman, the head of @NASA! If you are a teenager, sign up on hack.club/isaacman and get a chance to ask him a question!

Know a teen who loves coding, engineering, robotics, or building cool things? @LinusTech breaks down the @hackclub Stardance Challenge and how teens can spend their summer building, creating, and learning alongside thousands of other young builders. Share this with a teenager in your life who should know about it. Learn more: stardance.hackclub.com/amd

NASA is partnering with @hackclub to challenge 100k teens ages 13-18 to build real STEM projects this summer through the Stardance Challenge. 🌟 Sign up now and start earning prizes by coding, building electronics, and shipping projects.🏆 Learn more: stardance.hackclub.com

Teenager age 13-18? Sign up at stardance.hackclub.com! Spend your summer building technical projects, and earn free prizes :) The Stardance Challenge is run by Hack Club in partnership with @nasa, @amd, and @githubeducation

We're excited to partner with @hackclub on the Stardance Challenge, one of the largest STEM challenges for teens this summer. From June 1 to September 30, students ages 13 to 18 worldwide will design, build, and ship real technical projects, earning rewards along the way. Top US participants will be invited to an in-person hackathon at AMD Advancing AI in San Francisco this July. We're proud to support the next generation of builders alongside @NASA and @GitHub. Know a teen who should be part of this? Send this to them: stardance.hackclub.com/amd

Tom was once a high schooler in Iowa etching circuit boards using chemicals in his bathtub. Then he co-founded GitHub. Now he's helping 47 teens get their start in electronics and manufacturing by funding their projects and taking them to Shenzhen. Thank you Tom!!!

I turned 47 years old yesterday, so it's time for my traditional reverse birthday present! This year, I'm sending 47 teenagers to Shenzhen, China (the electronics capital of the world) to build hardware at Hack Club's Fallout, our flagship electronics hackathon! Fallout is a free, in-person hackathon in Shenzhen by Hack Club open to teenagers ages 13–18. Participants spend one week designing, manufacturing, and assembling their own electronics at the source, visiting the legendary Huaqiangbei markets, touring PCB fabs, and shipping a finished hardware project by the end of the trip. I'm covering travel and build costs for the first 47 teenagers! To sign up, all you need to do is go to fallout.hackclub.com and start building. For example, heres a custom made expressive midi controller based on the stm32 ecosystem. Built by a 17 year old from NYC: github.com/udu3324/stm32p… Now go build something cool!

Great meeting three awesome high school hackers from @hackclub today at the @WhiteHouse. These students are building the future — loved hearing about their projects and energy. Keep shipping!

Huge thank you for the major donation to @hackclub from the Proton Lifetime Charity Fundraiser organized by the Proton Foundation. They are the governing non-profit organization behind secure email provider Proton Mail. @ProtonPrivacy Kids deserve privacy too.

@FUTO_Tech How about a city and weekend simultaneously with a Hack Club hackathon!? We have upcoming events with hundreds of teen hackers in Seattle, LA, Austin, Burlington VT and beyond.

Our event during SXSW was probably our biggest yet. If we expand into events somewhere other than Austin, what city should we pick?

@shreyansj Congratulations Shreyans! Incredible to see Hack Clubbers reach massive impact. 🎉

We are joining Y Combinator! 4 years ago, just weeks after meeting in school, Naman and I recorded our first YC founder intro on Google Meet from our bedrooms in Agra, our hometown in India. We were 15 but we wanted to change the world just as much as we want to today, maybe even more. They were also just as confident they’d get in (lol). Today, we’re two 18 year olds building @manicule, an AI native technical documentation studio. We’re already at $150K+ ARR with just a team of 5 and we’ve worked with @greptile, @reductoai, @supermemory, and more. A year ago, I skipped college to build something real and we keep building now!

This Sunday, Hack Clubbers will be hosting @snowmaker for a live, unedited AMA. Teen hackers: join us for a freewheeling convo about tech, books, AI and value of college. If you are 13-18 (only!), join hackclub.com/slack and head to the #ama channel youtube.com/watch?v=O1J1pw…

For 10 years, @mojombo's support has helped transform a small group of high schoolers into the world’s largest movement of teen programmers. 🌎 THANK YOU to Tom & his family for their latest MAJOR donation to Hack Club. You’re empowering the next generation of builders! 🚀🩷

🔥Jóvenes de #BogotáCapitalDigital fueron protagonistas este fin de semana en el #Campfire Bogotá. 🎮 En @Uniandes, +70 estudiantes de 10 colegios de Bogotá compartieron conocimientos, retos y pasión por el desarrollo de videojuegos, conectando a Bogotá con +200 ciudades alrededor del planeta. 💻 Estamos orgullosos de su talento y compromiso para seguir fortaleciendo las habilidades digitales en nuestra ciudad. 🚀 #AquíSíPasa

it’s getting a bit chilly, but maybe the brand new HCB mobile app will warm ya up 🥶🥶🥶 hackclub.com/hcb/

We're excited to share that AMD x @hackclub are teaming up to present: Blueprint. A competition and series of hackathons for aspiring developers and builders. Check our link in bio for details. 💻

@FUTO_Tech @FUTO_Tech thank you for being such gracious hosts to our group of technical teenagers from Austin :-)

We're happy to host Hack Club this weekend, encouraging the next generation to get into coding. This weekend, they are making their own games using open source software like Godot. We're excited to see what they come up with tomorrow!

We made a mistake. This was the result of an oversight in our billing process, and we are returning Hack Club to its previous nonprofit pricing while we work with them directly to ensure their workspace remains fully accessible. We value the work Hack Club does to inspire and educate young people in coding and technology, and we regret the concern this situation has caused. We will be reviewing our billing and communications processes to provide nonprofits clearer guidance and adequate grace periods as they grow.

@SlackHQ @sqs We greatly appreciate @SlackHQ and all the engineers and community members that stepped in to help us. We have received so many emails, donations and kind words of support since yesterday! On behalf of the tens of thousands of teenagers who are a part of Hack Club, thank you!

Slack is threatening to shut off a big nonprofit teen coding community @hackclub (which is amazing and which I’ve helped for years) with just 3 days to migrate off. This would strand thousands of of the world’s smartest future coders. They are asking for $50k (a surprise 60x nonprofit price increase) but won’t even give assurances of more time or future service if that’s paid. Anyone who can help? Feels like a mistaken decision on their part by someone who isn’t seeing the whole picture.
