hello hello Dreamers!
 
I'm Reem (18 y/o, on a gap year at Hack Club HQ) and I lead Sleepover! This is the second edition of Sleepover's Weekly Newsletter.
 
 
Check out some updates and reminders of whats going on in Sleepover land here!
 

Sleepover Referral Program (chance of winning a Jellycat Plushies gift card)!

We want every girl to sign up for Sleepover and make awesome projects! So here are some incentives for getting girls to sign up for sleepover:
 
Get 10 girls to sign up for sleepover -> 3 feathers to spend in the sleepover shop
Get 25 girls to sign up for sleepover -> 5 hour reduction to get to sleepover
 
This is all happening through Pyramid Scheme, where you can get posters to hang up in your school, community, or share digitally, and a referral link to send to your friends so we can track your progress.
 
The person with top referrals gets a $50 dollar grant to the Jellycat store! or an equivalent prize!! Ends March 4th.
 
Tell a friend to tell a friend to sign up for Sleepover now!
 

Lock in huddles are happening all throughout the week!

Need to get started on your projects? Want to meet other girls also working on their sleepover projects? Join our Sleepover huddles!

In the #athena-sleepover channel on Slack, girls just like yourself are running calls and making projects.

React Workshop - Wednesday, 7pm EST

Want to take your front end skills a step further? ever wanted to make your code cleaner?
 
That's where React comes in! React is a frontend library that allows you to use reusable components to make incredibly beautiful User Interfaces. it's also super easy to learn!
 
Next Wednesday, 7pm EST - @charlotte and @lola will be hosting a react workshop for you to learn how to make your first projects! some knowledge of javascript may help, but anyone can join!
 

HackDash

Welcome to Hackdash - a part of sleepover! Code with friends and get a grant to buy food!
 
I started coding because my friends invited me to start coding with them.
 
Now is your chance to do the same!
 
Bring at least two friends over and spend at least two hours coding. We'll issue you a card grant to order food for you and your friends! Must be in person.
 
Why? we want your friends who aren't coders to try it out! you all must be participating in Sleepover!
 
(plus - if you ship a project during your hack dash session, we'll give you 1 extra feather!)


Check it out on the Sleepover Portal!

Thanks for checking out the second edition of the Sleepover newsletter!
 
If you got this far, I want to know what projects you want to make for Sleepover! Post a message in the #athena-sleepover slack channel and I'll react with a 4a4
 
With love,
Reem
