Hack Club

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.

We're getting close to $100k in donations to @hackclub through Framework Laptop 12 Batch 0 pre-orders! All of you who have supported this are awesome.

@mojombo Thank you from all of us! You have made a huge difference to Hack Club, and have nspired Hack Clubbers to get more involved in hardware over the last few years. We can't wait to get building and show you our projects.

Another turn around the sun, and all of a sudden I'm 46 years old! For my last five birthdays, I've given a reverse birthday present, and I am happy to keep the tradition alive this year. This summer, @HackClub is hosting "Highway to Undercity"—the largest high school hardware hackathon ever—at GitHub HQ in San Francisco. I'm excited to bring 46 high school students to the 3-day event. My $46k gift will fund a grant for each of them to build a hardware project before they come (all the parts), and once they build their device, it will cover their costs to fly to SF and pay for their expenses during the event. highway.hackclub.com As I write this, a huge wave of innovation is happening in the hardware and robotics space, driven by AI and better/cheaper tooling. I love working with Hack Club because they are geniuses at leveling up promising young engineers through programs like this. I will not be surprised if some of the attendees of this event go on to found companies, ride the robotics wave, and shape our future for the better. Happy reverse birthday!

We’ve done it! Check us out: github.com/hackclub/hcb. Taking a seven year old codebase and getting it ready to be public was a massive project.

This has been years in the making! Since joining the HCB team in 2020, I've always dreamed of making HCB's codebase public for the world to view- and now it is!

even more reason to use HCB for your next nonprofit project! check out & star github.com/hackclub/hcb.

@harrisja are they looking to do highseas.hackclub.com? high seas has a tutorial built in they can then use github.com/features/codes… and install the wakatime extension there they will just need to re-install wakatime (the command is on the high seas dashboard when they log in) each time

@hackclub what docs can I point her to?

@hackclub I'm checking this out for my high school student kiddos - can you use a Chromebook and participate? That's the computer they have.
