[March 28th, 2024 12:03 PM] sedowden: Hey everyone, happy Thursday (it’s almost Friday!!!) bunnyparrotparrot-nyanultrafastparrotscreaming-parrot

This Summer, we’re doing something really special: we’re giving club leaders the opportunity to pitch an idea for clubs and build it at Hack Club HQ over the summer.

If this is something you’d be interested in, share an idea you would love to build to help your club (& potentially other clubs) & we’ll set up a call.

Pitch Your Project Idea shipitparrot

RUMMAGE…
rAcCoOn??

:racyap: :racyap: rac_yap

`You've reached the bottom of the trashcan...` What did you find? An…empty bin?!

You look around, confused. And a tiny bit sad sad-yeehaw. But wait! A raccoon pulls on your shirt and points at the ground. It points at all the sensors and Arduino’s you’ve pulled out. Maybe…just maybe…the trash was the treasure all along??? thinkspin

Over the next two months, I’m running an experiment. Hack Clubbers from all over the U.S. will rummage through The Bin, pick out parts of their liking, and build a project of their own design. There are no costs, and there are no strings attached. Just a package 📦 shipped to your door.

RSVPs are currently open. We’re launching once we hit 500.

So, be free and RSVP! The parts are coming. It's time to look inside The Bin.
