Hack Club @hackclub
Tom was once a high schooler in Iowa etching circuit boards using chemicals in his bathtub.

Then he co-founded GitHub.

Now he's helping 47 teens get their start in electronics and manufacturing by funding their projects and taking them to Shenzhen.

Thank you Tom!!!

I turned 47 years old yesterday, so it's time for my traditional reverse birthday present!

This year, I'm sending 47 teenagers to Shenzhen, China (the electronics capital of the world) to build hardware at Hack Club's Fallout, our flagship electronics hackathon!

Fallout is a free, in-person hackathon in Shenzhen by Hack Club open to teenagers ages 13–18. Participants spend one week designing, manufacturing, and assembling their own electronics at the source, visiting the legendary Huaqiangbei markets, touring PCB fabs, and shipping a finished hardware project by the end of the trip. I'm covering travel and build costs for the first 47 teenagers!

To sign up, all you need to do is go to fallout.hackclub.com and start building.

For example, heres a custom made expressive midi controller based on the stm32 ecosystem. Built by a 17 year old from NYC:

github.com/udu3324/stm32p…

Now go build something cool!
