The idea is that you get $1000 (pollination project, awesome foundation, donations). Once you have $1000 you buy 20 hackpacks at $50, have a series of workshops for 20 teenagers (e.g. in your hackerspace) where you teach hacking skills using the contents of the hackpack. After the end of the workshop series, everyone who made it to most of the sessions will take a hackpack home for free so they can continue hacking the world around them! | |||

People currently working on project: [[User:Tunabananas|Tunabananas]], [[User:Matt|Matt]] | This page attempts to gather ideas for the contents of the hackpack, the curriculum for the workshops and complete source lists for hackpacks including where to buy everything to hit the $50 target. | ||
We have a [https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/hackpack mailing list] where we discuss everything related to hackpacks. | |||
