Hack Club is a nonprofit network of student-led high school coding clubs.
The typical Hack Club is led by 2-3 students, has 15-20 members, and meets weekly after school for 1.5 hours. Meetings resemble mini-hackathons, where students learn to code by building self-directed projects. As clubs mature, they attend hackathons, run outreach programs at middle and elementary schools, and host their own events.
Hack Club is an entirely open source organization (even our finances!). This repository is where we store most of our written materials.
