There are 130 spots at this hackathon and in order to get one you need to work on 4 projects over the summer and try to get at least one of them to go viral (top of hn being on of of the ways) as well as work on those projects for at least 60 hours.
Hackclub has done a bunch of other incredible hackathons in years past like [trail](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufMUJ9D1fi8) (30 teens hike the pacific crest trail with hardware they made themselves), [boreal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiG3fYq3xUU) train hackathon across Canada (sadly cut short because of wild fires in Jasper so they didn't get to traverse the whole length just the first half), and the latest one [Juice](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiDWvGPl0z0) where 100 teenagers worked on their games for 100 hours each and then opened a gaming cafe in Shanghai!
If you are a teenager (or middleschooler) or know one then have them signup (or signup yourself) at https://shipwrecked.hackclub.com and then join the slack community (best bit of hc ^-^) at https://hackclub.com/slack
