| Hi all! Thanks for being a part of Hack Club's Campfire! |
| |
I'm Reem (18 y/o and a gap year at Hack Club HQ). I lead the Athena Initiative, a group of programs at Hack Club dedicated to getting girls to learn to build projects, make friends and earn prizes for coding. |
| |
| We’re inviting girls to join some upcoming opportunities - created just for you! |
| |
| Now that Campfire's over, here's some events going on at Hack Club that you might love: |
| |
| Welcome to Hack Club’s Sleepover! |
| |
| Sleepover is a beginner-friendly coding program made by teen girls, for teen girls - just like yourself! |
| |
| No experience is required — it’s designed especially for students who have never coded before. |
| |
| Here’s how it works: |
- You spend 30 hours total learning and building small projects (that’s just ~10 hours a month).
|
- For every hour you code, they earn feathers that can be redeemed for prizes like plushies, digital cameras, AirPods, iPads, and more.
|
- Fly out to a slumber party themed hackathon in Chicago! Travel Grants available.
|
| |
| Along the way, we host step-by-step workshops, cozy late-night “lock-in” calls, and monthly challenges so no one is learning alone. |
| |
| |
| |
| Stasis - a Hardware Hackathon in Austin, Texas |
| |
| Never done hardware before? Do you want to learn how to build keyboards, robots, and circuit boards?
Introducing Hack Club's Stasis: where teenagers can design hardware projects and get $$$ to build them!
And, if you build 3 projects (~45 hours), you could be one of the 100 teenagers flown out to Austin, TX to compete in a 4-day hardware hackathon! All you have to do is:
|
| |
- Refer your friends! The Stasis design and build platform will launch at 3,000 signups
|
- When the platform opens, start designing your projects! You can choose a starter project if you're a beginner, or make your own custom project
|
|
We need you at Stasis. Software is a completely male-dominated field, and for hardware that gender gap is even worse. Stasis is running workshops, lock-in calls, and other community events by teen girls, for teen girls. And we want to see you there.

These are both part of Hack Club's Athena Initiative, a group of programs at Hack Club dedicated to getting girls to learn to build projects, make friends and earn prizes for coding. |
| |
| Any questions? Feel free to reach out to the Athena team. |
| |
| Can't wait to see the projects you make! |
| |
| Best, |
| Reem and the Athena Team |
