LGB Hack Club: Inspiring the next generation of programmers
Hack Club is not about hacking, it's about learning to code and building things. Hack Club is a global network of programming clubs where members learn to code through tinkering and building projects. Learn more at hackclub.com.
Hack Club is a global community of over 36,550 teens
Projects
Take a look at the projects & lessons you can take part in this year.
Basic Coding
Learn Basic Programming Concepts
Learn the basics of programming in languages such as Python, JavaScript, and more. Even if you're not an expert when the part ends, we want to give you the confidence to code and build projects with us and on your own.
GLaDOS
Continue working on GLaDOS
Continue working on the life-sized GLaDOS replica that we started last year. We will be working on the AI, the voice, and the movement of the robot based on facial recognition.
STEM Show?
Present GLaDOS
Even though GLaDOS was presented last year, we will hopefully be able to present it this year at the STEM Show. We will be showcasing the AI, the voice, and the movement of the robot.
A deeper look
Take a deeper look at the star of the show, GLaDOS.
GLaDOS is a sarcastic, artificial intelligence computer system that appears in the video games Portal and Portal 2. Portal is a video game series where the player solves puzzles using a portal gun to create portals on surfaces. GLaDOS is the main antagonist of the series. Last year, the Advanced Coding and Robotics ECA group (member list) built a life-sized replica of GLaDOS. The robot was built using a 3D printer and programmed to sustain a conversation with a person. It was featured in the STEM Show last year and was a hit among the audience. Its biggest accomplishment was attending the AI for Good Global Summit at the Ecolint booth.

Plan
Take a look at the plan for this year.
Plan
Introduction: Everyone will introduce themselves and talk a little bit about why they joined the club. Then, the club leaders will speak a bit more about Hack Club and what they do.
Basics of Programming: Learn the basics of programming in languages such as Python, JavaScript, and more. We do this to give you the confidence to code and build projects with us and on your own.
Start Building: We'll start working on GLaDOS, improving the code and the robot itself!
Present: We hope to present GLaDOS at the STEM Show this year.
