| Hello Leaders! 44b |
| |
| Oh my, a newsletter, finally. This has been long overdue and I apologize. My New Year resolution is returning to a consistent bi-weekly format. Hold me accountable. 6a8 |
| |
| In this edition, we have a new worldwide hackathon, a couple of YSWS events to participate in, along with some updates with the Clubs program. Please always feel free to reach out with any questions! |
| |

| |
It's Campfire Time 3d5! |
| |
| Campfire is a game jam happening this February in 200 cities all over the world! Game jams are just like hackathons, where you build games! If you remember me from the last newsletter, I was at Daydream, which was another game jam by Hack Club! |
| |
| It was really awesome, and as someone who has organized multiple hackathons before, I recommend you organize one too! You will learn a lot; from how to plan an event, reach out to sponsors, budget, and SO MUCH MORE. Its really fun, especially if you organize one with your club. |
| |
| Of course, you dont have to organize one - you can RSVP to attend the closest one to you! Game jams are magical experiences. |
