About Hack Club
Founded in 2014, Hack Club is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit supporting a global network of over 100,000 teenage makers. We believe the best way to learn is by building, so we provide community, resources, and rewards to help teens create.
About Stardance Challenge
Developed in partnership with NASA, Stardance Challenge runs
June 1 - September 30, 2026. Students build any technical project and earn "space tokens" for each hour they work. They can spend their tokens on real-world prizes like 3D printers, Raspberry Pis, and even trips to the Kennedy Space Center. The more they build, the more they earn.
About NASA's support
NASA is strengthening its education programs to support high school and college students to build the STEM skills they need to succeed in the workforces of tomorrow.
NASA and Hack Club signed a Space Act Agreement in March 2026 to support this Summer 2026 challenge.
