Every week there is club: a hands-on workshop with Casa Hacker educators, professional equipment made available, and a real neighbourhood challenge on the table. You learn spray paint, Arduino, 3D printing, VR and AI by doing — and at the end of the cycle you take the Festival stage to show what you built. The programme runs for 7 months, with weekly workshops in partner secondary schools.

// who can take part
It is free — it always has been. What we ask for is presence and the will to build together. Places prioritise those who need them most:
- ensino médio (parceria com escolas)
- renda per capita familiar de até ½ salário mínimo (ou até 3 salários totais)
- 50% das vagas reservadas a grupos sub-representados — pessoas negras, mulheres, LGBTQIA+, PcD e minorias étnicas
For under-18s, the legal guardian must sign the registration form. Registration opens according to each unit’s calendar — but you can register your interest now by talking to the team.
// about this unit
Americana was the second city where Hackerclubes landed, in 2019. It serves young people from peripheral neighbourhoods with regular workshops in Arduino, robotics and fabrication. It has strong partnerships with municipal schools and technical secondary education.
