53 years ago, 100,000 people gathered in San Francisco for the Summer of Love.
It’s not an event or program. It’s a theme for the summer, a challenge to every teenager reading this: What will you make?
To support you, we’re distributing $50,000 in free electronics (thanks GitHub!) & building Snapchat streaks for coding—but really Summer of Making is about you. If this will be the best summer ever, it’ll be because of what you choose to hack on & learn from.
GitHub is sponsoring $50k worth of hardware grants for student makers, alongside support from Adafruit & Arduino for gear.
Hardware grants
We want hardware hackers of any experience and no experience—whether it’ll be your first time soldering or your thousandth. Any 1) Plausible, 2) Cost-Effective, and 3) Inspired idea is eligible.
As you learn & make projects, share short photo/video updates each day & build a streak. You can even put custom CSS all over your profile & use your domain.

Very confused about what to do, web dev or something else, but had started learning python so continuing with that for now, might learn js later
Almost lose my streak here, this is the zoom background that I used to pretend that I'm in an office 🤣
Fixed an weird bug in github.com/hackclub/v3 yesterday at 2 in the night, heres beautiful screenshots of the convo with @lachlanjc
Some new sprites for the game I’m developing. In addition to that, I embedded a google form to the game so people can give feedback now.
These are just a few posts…
