Avast ye mateys! 🏴☠️
(FYI: You're receiving this email because you're a club leader or in the process of becoming one.)
I'm back with a mid-November update about things happening around Hack Club! We are offering a new food grant, ways to use High Seas as a resource for your club, a new YSWS, literal boba, and another exceptional leader showcase. Check it all out below!
Run a High Seas Meeting. Get Pizza. 🍕
Here's another way to get your crew fed! We are offering $5 for every person who signs-up and does some coding on the High Seas during one of your meetings. Here's how it works:
- Plan a High Seas themed meeting where everyone signs-up here and does a coding project.
- Have members (and you) enter their email on this form.
- Message @jps on Slack to get a virtual card to buy food for your club!
Also, I definitely used someone's pixelated pizza they made for the Pizza Grant. I wonder if they'll notice.....

Turn your own activities into a YSWS! Any coding project can count toward High Seas. If you've had trouble getting members engaged with other tasks, this program offers you the chance to incentivize their coding work.
Example:
Your club finished the Boba Workshop by going through the tutorial. Yay! But now what? Have them apply and practice their skills by making a website of their own or collaborating on one for the club! Using the skills they just learned will be challenging, but at least through High Seas they are getting paid by the hour to practice!
DM @jps on Slack or ask in the #leaders channel if you'd like to brainstorm ideas for your club!
Ship a mod. Get Minecraft. ⛏️
Be the change you want to see in the (block) world. Build your own mod for Minecraft and get the game to play with friends!
❓ Have questions? Ask in the #mc-modding channel.
⛏️ Begin modding here!
Make a Website. *Get Boba.*🧋
But this time.....literally.
For international participants, create a website and we will ship a small pack of dried boba for you to make yourself! You can participate even if you've already done the Boba Workshop before.
Running a workshop for your club? Message @jps to get Boba Orpheus stickers (pictured above) to pass out during the meeting!
❓ Have questions? Ask them in the #boba channel.
🧋 Earn your boba here starting November 17th!
Leader Showcase 📸
Edlyn and Caroline run a Hack Club for middle schoolers and recently facilitated a Boba Workshop with over 70 participants! They even made a website dedicated to the workshop! Seriously, check it out. It has awesome projects (8 are dedicated to cats!), a picture of their club, and helpful videos on various web development topics. Fantastic leading by these two. 🤗
Here's their club in action!
📸 Check out their Boba Showcase website here!
This Scallywag needs to swab the decks! 🏴☠️ Message me on Slack and tell me tales from your club! - @jps
