We are extremely excited to announce the launch of Major League Hacking Club pages. The schools with the strongest and most successful student hacker communities all have one thing in common – an official hacker club where students can gather, collaborate, and share the amazing things they build.
We believe that hacker clubs are the vehicle for creating sustainable, scalable hacker communities around the world. We want club pages to play a central role in helping the existing clubs grow and to make it simple to start new ones. Here are some of things you’ll be able to do on your school’s club page:
- Get the latest news about your school during hackathon season (photos, videos, & blog coverage)
- Learn about other hackers at your school and the things they’re building
- Find out about upcoming events both on and off campus
- Subscribe to your school’s newsletter for weekly updates
Through our partnership with Namecheap and .CLUB, we will be providing every hacker club with their own free .CLUB domain name to serve as an easy-to-remember address for their school’s page.
We’ve partnered up with Purdue Hackers to show you an example of what a club page is going to look like. You can now go to PurdueHackers.club to find out about Purdue student hackers, events, and projects.
How do I get a club page for my school?
We’re going to be rolling out club pages for a small batch of schools during Alpha. They’ll be helping us iron out any kinks before we open them up to the public. If you’re interested in getting one for your school, sign up here:
