Hack Club

Welcome to CCHS Hack Club!

Next meeting: Oct 31th, in room 322

What's this?

We're a group of coders at Chicopee Comprehensive High School interested in building with technology, whether that be software(programming) or hardware (3D printing, building computers). In other words, we do a lot of hacking. We also happen to be a chapter of the international non-profit Hack Club.

Who can join?

Anybody can! No matter what your experience, you can come around at the above specified time and just hang around and have fun! We make sure that everybody new to hacking gets a fun introduction to it.

What exactly do we do during a meeting?

During a meeting, people will collab or work on their own to build something or make progress towards building something cool. Towards the end of the meeting, everyone will demo and show off their creations! It's intended to be super chill.

How do I get started?

  1. Come join us.
  2. Start with one of the resources here, or work on your own project!
  3. Show us what you made!
  4. Repeat! And make in your free time too.

What's Hack Club?

Hack Club is basically "a nonprofit network of high school coding clubs and makers around the world". For more information, check their website!

How the heck was this website created?

This website was created using just HTML, CSS, and JS, so everybody can make a quick contribution to it if they want. What's the shape - it's super cool, right? It's a fractal. More specifically, it's a Julia Set. For more info, check this out.

All the code for this website is located on GitHub (basic explanation - a tool for storing and collaborating on code). We deployed it to the Internet using GitHub Pages.
