This repo contains everything related to Hack Club's Summer of Code.
The Summer of Making program provides teenagers with the resources needed to make their large passion projects a reality for free.
Every participant will be receiving their very own industry expert mentor to support them every step of the way. The participants will have weekly digital meetings with their mentor.
Hack Club will be giving you access to hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of software development tools as part of the program. This will be done through our fast track lane for the Github Student Developer Pack. Do you need something else to make your project possible? Let us know in your application and we'll do our best to get it for you for you as well.
Once your project is complete, we'll promote your project through our channels as well as supporting you with your own marketing efforts to get the word out!
The program will be taking place this summer with the making stage being from June 21st to August 16th. Once the projects are completed they'll be showcased to the world.
Those who participate, will join an alumni of passionate makers like themselves and will make new found industry contacts. We're excited to see what you make, apply now and submit your idea before May 31.

Start Date: 1st May 2020
End Date: 31st May 2020

Who can participate in the program?
The program is intended for people above 13 who are attending either a middle school or high school anywhere in the world. Too young? We can make exceptions on a case-by-case basis. Feel free to reach out!
My school starts while the program is going on. Can I still participate in the program?
For sure! Since the program is virtual, you should still be able to — and in fact, are encouraged to — work on the project once school resumes. That being said, we expect that you devote 100% effort throughout the program.
I am going to a summer camp during the program. Can I still participate?
Certainly! Just make sure that you’ll be able to dedicate time to the project every week throughout the program.
How will participants be meeting with mentors?
This program is 100% online, you'll be meeting through video call.
How are participants paired with mentors?
Accepted participants will be paired with an industry expert mentor who shares similar interests. Want to make a cool video game? You’ll be paired with someone who is experienced with game design!
Who is running the competition?
The program is being run by Hack Club, a non profit network of computer science clubs where members learn to code through tinkering and building projects. It is the biggest such network and has gained the attention of tech luminaries like Elon Musk!
