| Hi all! 👋 |
| |
| Do you know how controversial news stories usually release on a Friday? Right when people are tuning out for the weekend so there's less outcry. Well, that's how I feel about the timing of this newsletter with one of the programs below....😅 |
| |
| I also want to apologize for how 'wordy' this newsletter is. Sometimes I get too excited and over explain things. But I think it's all important. I also tried a new structure I'm not totally happy with. Let me know your thoughts! 💬 |

Project YSWS 🧱 |
| |
| A program where you can create workshops about your favorite technical topics and lead them with your club. Through this, you can teach your club a new skill, get them building projects, and receive funding for custom rewards. 🏆 A teen mentor to help you every step of the way! |
| |
| If it's successful with your club, it could become an official YSWS program with Hack Club for any teenager around the world. 🌎 🌍 🌏 |

Vibes - Vibe Code a Website. Get Pizza. 🍕🍕🌈🌈 |
| |
| This is an experimental YSWS that is CLUBS ONLY! |
| |
| Done laughing? 😅 I know, this sounds like a bad joke, but I'm totally serious. Also, many of you ask for the pizza grant. Here's a way to get it. 👀 |
| |
| As a beginning coder myself, learning this new skill is intimidating. Not only do we have to learn a new language, but we have to learn everything that goes with it. From index/css files, code editors, repositories, Git, and so on. It's....a lot to digest, especially if you've never heard of GitHub. |
| |
| The goal here is to give full code for a website as 'training wheels' so they can focus on all of these new procedures and tools. 🛠️ |
| |
Vibes - Workshop Structure ⚙️ |
| This is broken into three parts. Here's how it will work: |
| |
| 🤖 Part One: AI Prompt | Enter a prompt into an AI to get code. | | | | | ✍️ Part Two: Edit Content | Change the information, colors, fonts, 3etc. | | | |
| 🕹️ Part Three: Add Features |
Independently or with AI, add more features so it works with the pre-existing code. |
| |
| Example: AI Prompt -> background & content -> new feature (taskbar) |

Good Club Vibes 🌈 |
| Azmeer, a new leader from Egypt completed this with his club! He got 7 of his friends to participate. Looking through their GitHub profiles, a few of them had coded here and there, but most were building for the first time. They managed to ship within the first meeting. |
| |
After this, Azmeer's club was interested in more, and others wanted to join. They just completed a Boba workshop and are now considering other things they can build, like a three.js website with Polygon. |
| |
| Awesome club you have there Azmeer 🙂 |
