Happy April Fool's Day!
But have you heard about Hack Club yet?
Okay... What's a Hack Club?
Hack Club is the largest community of students building the class they wish they could take.
At Hack Club, every week you and 20 other students come together to build. Meetings are like mini-hackathons. People are working on projects, you lead workshops to introduce new technologies, you and your co-leads are constantly mentoring. Your members typically start with no experience.
So much more than a club
Hack Clubs attend and run hackathons like Hack the Fog. They run summer programs like Hack Camp. They compete in competitions like the Congressional App Challenge. This is no ordinary club.

We think people learn best when they take control of their own education.
Hack Club is heavily inspired by unschooling. At Hack Club, there are no teachers or lectures. Your job as a club leader is to facilitate and provide guidance through mentoring and the power of community.
Coding is a superpower
Learning to code is uniquely empowering: you go from a consumer to a creator. The goal of Hack Club is to help you become that creator. We want a space for hacking at every high school, every week.

We hate to say it, but we’re currently only accepting applications from students.
Teachers and parents can help by recruiting students, sharing Hack Club with the local PTA, and expressing interest in Hack Club to school administration.
