Hack Club for Grades 9-12

Students in grades 9-12 are invited to join Hack Club, meeting monthly on Saturdays.  At this first meeting, we will explore basic Python by developing a program that will cover the essential, fundamental elements of programming. This will allow us to start building a good foundation for future meetings and discuss what we would like to explore. 
 
Please bring your own laptop if you are able. A limited number of library laptops will be available for use.  We will be using Repl.it,  a browser-based coding environment.  If you do not already have an account, you can create a free one prior to our first meeting.

About the Club Organizer 
Arnav Chaudhary is a junior at New Canaan High School. He is passionate about technology and has been programming Scratch since he was 4 years old, and Python since he was 7. Due to this early exposure, he has tinkered with technology for a long time and gained experience in development, including in advanced, upcoming topics, such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. He is the developer of QuickAI, a Python library with over 25,000 downloads. QuickAI allows for the rapid creation of AI systems with very few, often single-digit lines of code, greatly lowering the initial barrier to entry for AI.  He has been involved with Hack Club for several years.
