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
Sumaré is the anchor city of Hackerclubes. This is where our largest infrastructure sits: a makerspace with digital fabrication, an electronics laboratory and a space for community workshops. We serve young people aged 12 to 25 with open weekly programming — there is nothing to pay to take part.
