Today we’re releasing GitHub Spark — a new tool in Copilot that turns your ideas into full-stack apps, entirely in natural language. I've enjoyed creating with Spark myself, but even more, I’ve enjoyed seeing what you're building: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/gQ_swwt3
Ever seen a custom-built mini vending machine, a fully wireless ergonomic keyboard, or an interactive LED accessory inspired by a videogame? At Hack Club's Undercity, high school students spent four intensive days at GitHub HQ creating these innovative hardware projects: 🍬 Mini-Vending Machine by Selena (16, Canada) A fully functional tabletop vending machine powered by Arduino Uno R3, continuous servos, an LCD screen, and push buttons. Drop in a coin, select left or right, and get your "god pack" if you're lucky! ⌨️ SplitWave by Ankush (17, India) A beautifully designed wireless split keyboard featuring a column-stagger layout and 44 keys. Powered by a Supermini nRF52840, this build offers ergonomic comfort with MBK keycaps and Kailh Choc V1 switches. 💡 Radiant by Alonso Banda (16, Mexico) An interactive, color-changing LED ring accessory controlled by a XIAO ESP32-C3 board. Inspired by the androids from the game Detroit: Become Human, it even features a custom control panel and RadiantOS software. Stay tuned—we're spotlighting more from the 64 inspiring student projects built at Undercity throughout the summer.

What happens when you give talented high schoolers four days, PCB mills, soldering irons, 3D printers, and free rein to build? In July, Hack Club’s Undercity brought together a group of inventive young hackers at GitHub’s headquarters in San Francisco. These students earned their way to the event by completing hardware challenges through Hack Club’s "Highway" program—and once there, they dove into four days of intensive, creative engineering. We're showcasing highlights from 64 mind-blowing teenage student projects created at Undercity. Here are the first three: 🎮 Jukebox by Daniel Davidson (16, USA) Ever wanted a real-world Minecraft jukebox? Daniel built one using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 and an RC522 NFC scanner. Insert custom-made discs, and the tunes start playing—straight out of the game. 💻 Icepi Zero A Raspberry Pi Zero-sized FPGA dev board featuring 28 GPIO pins, USB-to-JTAG programming, and 256Mb SDRAM. Open-source, ultra-flexible, and ready to power ambitious emulation projects—with over 250 hours of development invested. ✈️ Lover Jet by Emely Lugo (16, NJ) An Arduino-powered RC transmitter controls a cardboard F-22 Raptor jet using NRF24L01+ transceivers. Built from scratch, this jet proves cardboard and code can truly take flight. "It's a lover, not a fighter." Stay tuned—this is just the beginning. Each week, we’ll highlight more groundbreaking creations from this inspiring generation of builders.

Are you an educator feeling a bit anxious about how AI is changing the landscape of software development? 🤔 You're not alone! With tools like GitHub Copilot becoming more mainstream, it's natural to wonder: “What does this mean for teaching and learning programming? Will students stop thinking for themselves?” I think it’s time we look at AI (like Copilot) as a partner, not a replacement. Imagine if, instead of worrying, we could harness these tools to make learning even more engaging and accessible for our students. 💡 Join me on Friday, July 11th in the session Copilot Fridays: Copilot for Educators—where we explore just that. If you’re curious about how AI can empower both educators and learners (without taking the creativity out of coding), register here: 👉 https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/d-EGS-iz Would love to hear your thoughts—how do you see AI fitting into your classroom or teaching practice?
