We'd be happy to help some of these kids do Show HNs of their projects. Would that be of interest?

Absolutely - they’d fit right in here. My email is [email protected].

Couple of questions:

1) I see the mention of highschool throughout, what about younger hackers that are 13+ (7th & 8th grade)?

2) The directory (https://directory.hackclub.com/) is not working for me. Are there existing clubs in Asia? Specifically Taipei, Taiwan.

For 2), there is a much more comprehensive map at the top of https://toolbox.hackclub.com/ that you can look at

Hi! Hackclubber here.

When we say Highschool, we really mean 18 and under (we have a lot of people from Middle-school and up)

Hello frankacter, Hong Kong hackclubber here ^-^ there will be a Hack Club Highschool Hackathon hosted in Taipei at March and they'll announce more information on instagram.com/hackit.tw

thanks for the reply, that is an odd instagram you've linked. It was just set up a couple of months ago, has made 0 posts and follows no one. It links to https://hackit.tw and https://counterspell.hackit.tw, neither of which seem to resolve.

I found this Thread post ( https://www.threads.net/@hackit.tw?xmt=AQGzSJCZSi-xlWjNR7_1C... ) which seems to suggest that Counterspell (?) is doing a combined hackathon with GenAI Hackathon sometime in 2025.

I've followed their social, but for "hackers", it certainly feels off.

Hey, what’s the best way to sponsor this?

I see that in-person clubs are for High Schoolers only. But, is everything else for only high schoolers?

Can home-educated teenagers with government issued ID join? Throughout the site, high school student and teenager seem to be used interchangeably. At https://hack.club/high-seas-faq: "Who can participate in High Seas?" "Anyone 18 or under can participate in High Seas![...]" "Why do I have to verify?" "We need to make sure that you’re a high school student.[...]" "What form of ID is accepted?" "A government issued ID (eg. drivers license or passport), or A dated school ID[...]"

Yes, definitely. We consider anyone ages 13-18 a “high schooler”.
