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 https://t.co/dOTueNxzdD 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:

Now go build something cool!
Great meeting three awesome high school hackers from @hackclub today at the @WhiteHouse.
These students are building the future — loved hearing about their projects and energy. Keep shipping!
We're happy to host Hack Club this weekend, encouraging the next generation to get into coding. This weekend, they are making their own games using open source software like Godot.
We're excited to see what they come up with tomorrow!
i met some of my closest friends 7-8 years ago on hack club’s slack, and the workspace contains collective knowledge from tens of thousands of student coders over more than a decade.
rt-ing for reach- this is not okay @SlackHQ
this is unfortunately a really big deal for @hackclub and our future. help us save the platform that over a hundred thousand teenagers use to build projects with their friends
Slack is threatening to shut off a big nonprofit teen coding community @hackclub (which is amazing and which I’ve helped for years) with just 3 days to migrate off. This would strand thousands of of the world’s smartest future coders. They are asking for $50k (a surprise 60x nonprofit price increase) but won’t even give assurances of more time or future service if that’s paid.
Anyone who can help? Feels like a mistaken decision on their part by someone who isn’t seeing the whole picture.

I used to be a strong advocate for Indian hotel brands (specifically @TajHotels) and even hold an Epicure Privileged membership with the group, but this just made me lose all the trust I had with the company.
The first email I had sent was on the 19th of May, and I still have not received a single response from the team that's supposed to process these cancellations. All I've gotten is wishy-washy insincere apologies, and random people being CC's on these threads.
