Tought to students, by students.
Hey, it's Ethan here, and at Hack Somerset, we're all about learning tech the right way – by doing it! We're building a community where teens like us can:
You don't need to be a tech genius or have fancy gear to join us. Just bring your curiosity and get ready to have fun! We'll provide the tools and the know-how.
Our meetups are informal, hands-on, and designed to spark creativity. No pressure, no grades—just the joy of building and learning together.
(and as a bonus, get LOTS of stickers!!!)

So far, I (Ethan Canterbury) have paid over $500 out of pocket to get this club up and running. While I'm committed to this mission, we need community support to sustain and grow our programs.
We need to cover basic costs like website hosting and software licenses.
We want to provide access to cool equipment and resources that make learning even more awesome.
We're dreaming of more workshops and events, and your support makes that possible.
Help us provide awesome rewards for the "You Ship We Ship" program and hackathon prizes.
Support fun community activities that bring our tech enthusiasts together to learn and collaborate.
If you believe in giving teens like us the chance to explore tech and learn together and teach others, please consider donating. We're super grateful for your support!
