Hello Leaders! 👋
 
This is a collab newsletter with one of my Clubs Team members - Zeeno! He's a Hack Clubber from India who organized Polygon 🟡 🟩 🔺
 
I'll let them take it from here! Here's......... ZEENO! 🎤
 
What do Hack Clubbers do on a Friday night? They hit the hack club! Pretty funny right? 😅

Apart from my lame jokes, it's a great time to be building something new and amazing with your club! 💪 I've got some interesting stuff to share about the winners of February's Top Club and also awesome hackathons happening around the world! This newsletter should be worth reading.....👀

Introducing the Hack Club Gap Year Fellowship

YSWS Programs

Here are some new programs I think could be good for a club!

Build Mods. Get Minecraft. ⛏️

 
In college, I played Minecraft for 8+ hours with my buddies. We said we were 'putting in a shift' like we were going to work. Now you can do something similar with your club! Except this time, you can make your own rules for your world. 🌎 Build mods and we'll ship Minecraft accounts, servers or other games! No prior experience or account needed.
 
As a bonus if you get over 300 downloads you get terraria on top!

Top Clubs 🏆

A new section for the newsletter! I know we are almost halfway through March. But let's celebrate a great club from last month.

February's Top Club - Beachside Barracoders

This Florida coterie (isn't that a fun word!) wins February's Top Club! They led all Hack Clubs with the most shipped projects, members who shipped, and total weighted grants. I sent a pair of Hack Club socks 🧦 to each of the three leaders!
 
 
🏴☠️Total Shippers: 16
🚢 Shipped Projects: 19
⚓️ Weighted Projects: 9.3
*Weighted Projects are 10 hours of building time on a technical project.
 
What'd they do? BakeBuild! 🍪🍪🍪

March's Top Clubs 🏆

 
  • You have access to your Leader Portal.
  • Members are added to your club.
  • Shipped projects are being logged.
 
Let us help you lead the Top Club of March! 💪
