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.
See what everyone’s makingalso!! I obtained three new domains today! gonna cook up some fun stuff maybe 😋 here is a mango smoothie I made today (5 smallish lemons + 1/2 a lemon’s juice)
Made my first slackbot: automatically sets a new cartoony picrew pfp every minute from this list. (very spaghet) source code here.
These are just a few posts…
