    Curious what else we do?
    Athena
    is a group of programs at Hack Club to empower girls and nonbinary teenagers to code.
    From hosting in-person hackathons to virtual workshops, Hack Club is a place to become more technical and immerse yourself in coding.
    Our 2024 summit:
    Ascend Event
    Ascend was Hack Club's first-ever Days of Service Summit! Held in Los Angeles, this event brought together 50 girls and non-binary Hack Club members from across the U.S. and internationally for a hackathon hosted at SpaceX, along with a weekend filled with fun and growth. This summit became the largest teenage girl hackathon in the U.S. this year, in partnership with Girls Who Code and Kode with Klossy.
