What is Sunbeam?
Sunbeam is a string of 20+ girls-only social coding events by Hack Club’s Athena. Our mission is to empower more girls with tech literacy. In our day-long event, girls will come together to code their own project, meet other girls in tech, and have fun. Every satellite event will have staff and mentors throughout the event to help the attendees.
Why should one attend Sunbeam?
Building something from scratch is life changing. For many teens, it is the turning point that sparks a lifelong love of building. Sunbeam gives teens the chance to meet like-minded girls, work on ambitious projects, and share their learning with other peers. Hack Club alumni have gone on to lead venture-backed startups, take on engineering roles at companies like Apple, Meta, Google, Netflix, and Uber, and build meaningful careers in technology.
Hack Club programs are free and accessible to all students thanks to the support of numerous donors. Hack Club is supported by many notable figures in the tech industry, including AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su, Dell Founder & CEO Michael Dell, as well as executives at Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, and GitHub.
