A Home for High School Makers
Join a community of makers, building open source projects and learning to code together.
Discover the joy of code, together.
Coding can be a solitary activity - but it doesn't have to be that way. We've organised hackathons across China, the US, Canada, India, and more, and believe that the best way to enjoy programming is to do it with other people. Here's how we can help you do just that:
Connect with other teenage codersHave a coding question? Looking for project feedback? You'll find thousands of fabulous people to talk to in our global Slack (like Discord), active at all hours.
Build open source coding toolsWe build open source projects together (3k+ PRs a year) like this website, a game engine (and console!), a daily streak tracker, and more! And of course, you can always choose to start a project of your own.
Gather IRL with other makersMeet other Hack Clubbers in your community to build together at one of the 400+ Hack Clubs and high school hackathons (social coding events).
Here are a few projects you could get involved in:
Connect with builders from around the world
We gather both online and in-person to share our love of code and make things together!
Spend 100 hours on one project, spend this summer in San Francisco.
Pacific Crest Trail
July 12-19
30 Hack Clubbers went on a 7 day hike along the Pacific Crest Trail supplied by only the technical equipment that they built.

100+ Cities worldwide – March 15-16
More than 100 Hack Clubbers went to Shanghai, China to show off and build awesome video games!
Our Online Community
Coding doesn’t have to be a solitary activity. At Hack Club, we make remarkable things together, and in our Slack you’ll find awesome people to hang out with too. Code together, find your programming community, dream up something wild, or just #lounge.
Occasionally we invite someone we really want to speak to (like Sal Khan, George Hotz, and Lady Ada) and host an AMA with them.

We build open source games and tools together
In collaboration with engineers on the Hack Club team, Hack Clubbers build learning tools for each other. Get involved with these projects by building something with our tools or contribute to the tools themselves.

HCB
Become a 501(c)3 nonprofit and join 700+ teams using HCB to run world-class events.
Built by Hack Club, for you. Run high school hackathons, open source collectives, and anything else you can imagine.
Hack Club isn't like a CS Discord server or a WhatsApp group. It's a place for those who build things and dream big, not for class credit or for an exam, but for the love of making.
It's for the folks who've never written a line of code in their life and want help from teens who get them and know what it's like to be in their shoes, and it's for those who've been coding for years and want help getting even better.
It's for the folks who've been coding in their bedrooms and want to share their work with teens who get them. It's for the folks who've never written a line of code in their life, and want help from people who'll go above and beyond to help you, not just tell you to just "read the manual" or "ask ChatGPT".

We're builders ourselves, and we know that across the world, there are tens of thousands of teens who just need someone to give them a little push and help them make something they're proud of.
