We are teen hackers from around the world who code together

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)

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.
