Do you have an interest in programming and coding?  

Join a like-minded community of teens interested in all the unique facets of STEM! From making a website to building a drone, Hack Club aims to inspire teens and prove to them that they can make anything. 

HACK Club at Diamond Valley is the first of these engaging clubs to be run separately from the school environment, allowing for a tight-knit community of makers from anywhere and everywhere. Hack Club gives teens the opportunity to learn by making projects that interest them. We provide an environment to work collaboratively and gain inspiration from each other.  

This club is a step up from coding clubs aimed at younger kids and fills the gap for teens looking for an inclusive environment. Hack Club is open to people of all skill levels and is always welcoming to interested beginners. Make friends, be inspired, learn new skills and be part of a worldwide community!

What can I expect to do at Hack Club? 

At our sessions, participants will be guided and taught fundamental skills that allow them to build their own projects. There will also be the opportunity to participate in some of Hack Club's "You Ship - We Ship" programs which are offered to participants. 

These involve you publishing (or shipping) projects and then receiving something to experience it with. Some of these include: 

Sprig
Make a game in JavaScript, publish it to the gallery and get your own DIY console (powered by a raspberry pi pico to play it on). 

Blot
Code some generative art, publish it to the gallery and get a machine to draw it for you! 

OnBoard
Design your own PCB and get a $150 grant to produce multiple iterations.
