Oof, that's not ideal. I'll have to complain to Bluesky about this scammer besmirching my good name. We can still be friends for real though, and I won't even make you invest in my Bitcoin scam!

I will not be surprised if some of the attendees of this event go on to found companies, ride the robotics wave, and shape our future for the better.

Happy reverse birthday!

As I write this, a huge wave of innovation is happening in the hardware and robotics space, driven by AI and better/cheaper tooling. I love working with Hack Club because they are geniuses at leveling up promising young engineers through programs like this.

My $46k gift will fund a grant for each of them to build a hardware project before they come (all the parts), and once they build their device, it will cover their costs to fly to SF and pay for their expenses during the event.

This summer, Hack Club is hosting "Highway to Undercity"—the largest high school hardware hackathon ever—at GitHub HQ in San Francisco. I'm excited to bring 46 high school students to the 3-day event.
