Hack Club Gharbiya STEM

// SEASON 5 · 2025 – 2026 · CLOSED

The season is over. What you shipped isn't.

Twenty-fifth of November, 2025: stickers, a kickoff, and a login page with a hole in it for the red team to exploit. The last night of the season ended on a ping pong table at a gaming cafe.

This page is the record of the months in between — every workshop you joined, every event you walked into, every project that got approved. Not a summary. A receipt.

One workshop. Two tables.

The boba workshop was the loudest night of the season. Beginners, one afternoon, HTML and CSS, a personal site pushed to GitHub, and $5 of boba waiting for everyone who finished. These are the two groups that filled the room.

The girls' table

One afternoon, a blank editor, and a brief most of them had never seen before: a personal site, five real features, a live link. They shipped it and collected $5 of boba for the trouble.

Same brief, same deadline, same $5 waiting at the end. This is the other half of the room that turned 36 approved submissions out of a single workshop session.

The part nobody puts on the badge

Every season ends the same way. The forms close, the group chat goes quiet, and a folder full of websites sits there unopened until somebody eventually says remember when?

So we are saying it now, while it still counts:

  • You learned HTML and CSS in a room with no teacher — just a leader, a link, and a deadline.
  • You were told no CSS was allowed, and you built something beautiful out of text anyway.
  • You let an AI write the first draft, then opened the file and made it yours.
  • You sat through a red team lecture knowing that by the end of the season you would defend the thing instead.
  • You played ping pong at a gaming cafe and let that count as a closing ceremony.

That is Season 5. Not the Level 3 badge — the habit of showing up.

Season 6 started from an empty page. The people who came back twice this season are the only reason there was a Season 6 at all.

Season 6 is already running

Everything on this page stays exactly as it was. Season 6 has its own page with its own calendar, so the two never get mixed up.
