Pre-register

Signups open June 18
Ages 13–18, for students anywhere worldwide

Free hardware from GitHub.

GitHub is sponsoring $50k worth of hardware grants for student makers, alongside support from Adafruit & Arduino for gear.

Weekly community get-togethers

In addition to mentoring opportunities, you’ll join a weekly call with fellow Summer Makers in your area (web dev, games, hardware, etc). You’ll show off what you’re making, get help, make friends, & stay motivated.

Built-in project marketing

At the end of the summer, we’ll be working with our partners—Github, Adafruit & Arduino—to share your project with the wider hacker community. Expect live shows, blog posts & social media shares!

Expectations

You’ll be joining a group of 150-300 students.

You should plan to spend 10+ hours/week on your project.

Don’t worry if a camp or school interferes with the dates, as long as you can still make your project.

Community Slack

Unlimited digital fun on the Hack Club Slack.

We’re trying to make the Hack Club Slack the best place on the internet to be a teenager into technology.

This summer we’ll be having themed weeks to get you making. We’ve also got bi-weekly AMAs with some of most influential people in tech, community-led events & an awards ceremony to conclude the summer.

Join the Slack

By teenagers, for teenagers.
