What if your summer could be more than just a break?
What if it could be a launchpad?
Welcome to the Summer of Making, Hack Club's annual celebration of youth-powered innovation, where teenagers across the globe spend their summer building, coding, designing, and dreaming big.
From DIY electronics and personal websites to climate tech, open-source tools, and even custom PCBs, the Summer of Making is where ideas become reality—with the full support of the Hack Club community, hardware grants, mentorship, and a thriving network of makers.
๐ What’s It All About?
The Summer of Making empowers high schoolers to:
-
Build ambitious projects in hardware, software, and beyond
-
Learn by doing—whether it’s your first Arduino or your 100th GitHub commit
-
Share your work with a global network of peers
-
Get free hardware through partners like GitHub, Adafruit, and Digi-Key
All you need is an idea and the drive to make it real. Hack Club provides the rest.
๐ง Highlights from Makers Around the World
This summer, we’ve seen:
-
A custom-designed LED guitar controller for rhythm games
-
A Raspberry Pi–powered smart mirror that shows the weather and calendar
-
A solar-powered environmental sensor network built by a team in India
-
A high schooler creating their own 8-bit CPU from scratch!
And it’s only July.
๐ง Learning Together
What sets Summer of Making apart isn’t just the projects—it’s the community. Makers share daily updates, ask for help, give feedback, and push each other to go further. Whether you're stuck on a bug or looking for inspiration, you’re never building alone.
